Prerequisite: CVEN 3313, Theoretical Fluid Mechanics

Textbook: Required: Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems, Hwang & Houghtalen, 3^rd edition, Prentice Hall, 1996

Course Goal: To develop the ability to apply fluid mechanic principles to solve water resource engineering problems. The course will provide you with an understanding of the current practices in hydraulic and hydrologic Engineering and will provide you practical experience in the use of software tools for analysis and design of water resources engineering applications. You will be required to be able to synthesize this knowledge in a real-world design project. This course will also prepare you for further study in water distribution, open channel flow, surface water hydrology, sediment transport, and environmental hydraulics.

Course Outline:

I. Flow in Closed Conduits (pipes, pumps, turbines)
    A. Single pipe flow
        1. Continuity, momentum and energy principles
        2. Resistance in pipes
    B. Pipelines and pipe networks
        1. Reservoirs and pumps
        2. Multiply connected pipes
        3. Water hammer
    C. Pumps and Turbines
        1. Pump types
        2. Pump selection and design
        3. Cavitation
    D. Design of pipe networks
II. Flow in Open Channels
    A. Continuity, momentum and energy principles
    B. Analysis of open channel flows
        1. Uniform flows: channel resistance
        2. Rapidly varied flows: hydraulic jumps
        3. Gradually varied flows:
            a. Control sections
            b. Numerical methods for water surface profile simulation
    C. Design of open channels
III. Introduction to Hydrology
    A. Hydrologic Cycle

1. Precipitation, Snowmelt and Evapotranspiration
B. Rainfall-runoff Models:

1. Rational method

2. SCS curve number

3. Hydrographs and hydrograph components

4. Unit Hydrographs

C. Hydrologic Design

1. Frequency Analysis

2. Design Floods

3. Sewer and Culvert Design

Homework: Assignments are to be turned in before class the day they are due. Late homework will be accepted only if you obtain my permission before the due date or there are extenuating circumstances.

Reading Assignments: Your comprehension of the lectures is significantly improved if you have some background, therefore you are required to read the material to be covered that day before the lecture period. Students will be asked to answer questions in class during the year. If you do not want to be asked questions during class, please let me know (personally, email or any other method of communication).

Design Projects: Three design projects will be assigned during the semester. You will gain experience synthesizing information from your reading, the lectures and other sources, including manufacturers and suppliers, you will learn to use software that is widely used in engineering practice, and you will gain experience preparing professional reports. These projects do not have a single correct answer and are designed to give you experience using engineering judgment.

Laboratory Experiments: As in fluid mechanics, a number of lab experiments will be carried out to enhance your understanding of the material covered in class. Information about each laboratory experiment will be made available through the web.

Tests: One in-class and one-take home exam will be given. The final exam will be an oral presentation of your final project.
