Catalogue data
| Abstract | Hydraulic systems, schemes and structures (e.g. dams, intakes, conduits, pipes, open channels, weirs, powerhouses, locks), fundamentals in river engineering and natural hazards |
| Learning objective | In the course "Hydraulic Engineering", the competencies of process understanding and system understanding are taught, applied and examined. Concept development is taught and applied. The course aims at knowledge of hydraulic systems and their main hydraulic components and structures; competencies in planning and design of hydraulic structures with regard to serviceability and reliability are teached. |
| Content | Hydraulic systems: High-head storage power plants and low-head run-of-river power plants. Weirs: weir and gate types, hydraulic design. Intakes: intake types, desilting facilities and sand traps. Channels: design, open and closed channels. Closed conduits: linings, hydraulic design of pressure tunnels and shafts. Dams and reservoirs: dam types, appurtenant structures River engineering: flow computation, sediment transport, engineering and environmental measures. Natural hazards: types, basics of countermeasures Inland navigation: channels and locks. Exercises in written form, exercises in hydraulic and computer laboratory. Field trip. |
| Lecture notes | Comprehensive script "Hydraulic structures" in German. |
| Literature | Literature references are given at the end of each chapter of the script. Recommended books: see course description in German |
| Prerequisites / Notice | strongly recommended: basic knowledge in hydraulics (fluid mechanics) |
