Credit Points:

12.00

Coordinator:

Dr I.C. O'Neill

Timetable:

All Year

Contact:

18 hours of lectures and nine hours of tutorials in each semester, with six hours of laboratory work in the second semester

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course the student should appreciate the theory and application of engineering hydrology (both surface and groundwater) and the application of hydraulics and fluid mechanics to a number of areas of hydraulic engineering, including water supply and waste water systems, drainage, environmental hydraulics, flood routing and mitigation.

Content:

Open channel flow, flood routing, water quality modelling. Flood hydrology, rainfall/runoff modelling, flood frequency analysis, yield hydrology, groundwater hydrology. Environmental hydraulics; flood routing in rivers and reservoirs; coastal protection; urban water supply distribution; water hammer and surge protection in pipe systems.

Assessment:

Two two-hour examinations, one of which may be held during the year; practical and tutorial assignments and tests held during the year will be assessed for inclusion in the examination results.
