Course Objective

The basic concepts and procedures used to solve hydraulics problems of engineering significance are reviewed. Basic knowledge to design and construction of hydraulic structures is remembered. Some engineering problems cannot be solved by hand and the use of computer programs leads to time effective and reliable results. The required techniques in handling of computer programs are illustrated. The common computer aided design problems are treated together with illustrative examples.
