Course Objective

The course aims to provide the necessary theoretical knowledge to analyze varied open channel flows and to compute the non-uniform flows and time-variable flows by using computer.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To explain the water surface profiles for non-uniform flow in uniform and non-uniform channels.
2   To solve the water surface profile problems using numerical methods.
3   To determine the water surface profiles for the rapidly varied flows
4   To determine the equations of unsteady flows
5   To solve the unsteady flow problems
