TNBI28 Hydrology and Hydraulics, 4 ECTS credits.
/Hydrologi och hydraulik/

For:   BI  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 40
Rec. self-study hours: 67

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Civil Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
After completing the course the student should be able to calculate and analyse thrusts against gates, floating stability of bodies, flow in pipes and pumps and water regulations. This means that the student can:
  • Calculate hydrostatic hydraulic thrusts on surfaces.
  • Calculate and analyse the stability of floating bodies.
  • Define and apply the fluid flow concept.
  • Describe and apply the energy equation for dimensioning of water pipes.
  • Describe and apply the hydrologic circle for analyse of water regulations.
  • Calculate and evaluate the behaviour of gates.
  • Analyse the influence of water inside a floating body.
  • Analyse a pipeline system with pumps.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Structural Mechanics and Strength of Materials

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Water supply and wastewater technology.

Organisation:
Teaching is done in lectures and laboratory work.

Course contents:
Hydraulic thrusts on surfaces. Stability of floating bodies. Fluid flow concept. Energy equation including pumps for dimensioning of water pipes. Hydraulic circle for analyse of water regulations.
