CE 565 Open Channel Flow

Advanced design of lined or rigid boundary ("engineered") channels, unlined or erodible ("natural") channels, weirs, spillways, stilling basins, culverts, and other hydraulic structures. Students learn how to determine the water surface profile for gradually varied flow conditions. Principles of hydraulic analysis, including specific energy, momentum, critical depth, and uniform flow, will be applied. Students study advanced topics in open channel flow and complete a special project that will be presented as a lecture.
