SYNOPSIS:

The  emphasis of this unit is the application of hydraulic  theory  to
the   solution   of  problems  commonly  encountered  in   engineering
hydraulics and to the design of hydraulic systems and structures.

The  basic  concepts of the conservation of mass, momentum and  energy
(introduced in Hydraulics I) are reviewed, extended and applied  to  a
variety  of hydraulic systems.  New material on unsteady pipeline  and
open  channel flows, loose boundary hydraulics and coastal  hydraulics
is  presented and applied.  Students are practised in the  design  and
analysis  of  open channel, pipeline and pumping systems  and  a  wide
range of hydraulic structures.

OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of this unit the student should be able to :

1. evaluate and apply the equations available for the description of open channel and pipe flow;
2. solve problems involving compound and branching pipes;
3. solve simple pipe networks using an appropriate method;
4. select a pump to meet a specified duty;
5. match a pump to a pipeline system and determine the operating point of the pump;
6. determine the maximum discharge and suction lift for cavitation free operation of a pump;
7. apply rigid and elastic water hammer theory to the analysis of pipeline systems;
8. calculate the maximum allowable rates for valve open and closure;
9. design lined and erodible channels (including vegetative lined channels);
10. solve the equations governing unsteady open channel flow and apply them to the solution of practical flow problems including : . runoff on a plane surface . routing of a stream hydrograph . passage of a surge wave;
11. predict the sediment load in an open channel or natural stream;
12. design a range of hydraulic structures including : . fixed and movable crest weirs . gated control structures . pipe conveyance structures . spillways and energy dissipation structures . critical flow measuring flumes . gulley control structures . weir and culvert type structures using the minimum specific energy concept;
13. describe the essential theory of coastal and estuarine hydraulics and apply this theory to the design of a range of coastal works.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

1    Students  should  achieve at least 45% of  the  maximum  possible
     marks  in each assignment, at least 50% of the marks in the final
     examination,  and  at least 50% of the aggregate  marks  for  all
     assessments in order to complete the unit successfully.
2    The  final  examination  in this unit is  restricted.   Only  the
     following  items  may  be  brought into the  examination  by  the
     student - an approved non programmable calculator.
3    Because  it is normal practice to release model answers  promptly
     after the due date, the penalty for late submission of assignment
     work will normally be the loss of all marks for the assignment.
4    It  is the policy of the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying NOT
     to  accept  submission  of assignments  by  facsimile  or  email.
     Students  in remote locations who do not have regular  access  to
     postal services may be given special consideration.
