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.
