99630 - HYDRAULICS

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course aims to offer the basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and hydraulics. Specifically, the student will be able to evaluate the hydrostatic and dynamic force on surfaces; to verify and design simples networks of pipelines and open channels. Such learning outcomes will be the basis for the analysis and design of water management systems, hydraulic networks, urban water systems, river flood protection.
