Course Objective

Some engineering problems are so complicated that they can t be solved by mathematical approaches and the only tool is to design and build a physical model in order to verify the theory and to obtain experimental data. Dam spillways, river structures, breakwaters, are examples which are designed and studied by means of hydraulic models. It is intended to provide the basic knowledge about physical models based on the fundamentals of the similitude and also make acquire the mastery in the experimental study.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To provide the fundamentals of the dimensional analysis
2   To provide the fundamentals of the design of physical models
3   To provide the importance of the physical models in engineering applications
4   To provide the measurements techniques in laboratory
5   To interrelate the experimental findings and the actual values in nature
