CV 415 - Hydraulics

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
This course develops and expands upon the hydraulic principles studied in CV 310 . Topics include classroom theory and laboratory investigation of hydraulic machinery (turbines, pumps, gates, and valves), hydraulic structures (weirs, orifices, culverts, and gates), flood control, and open channel flow phenomena. Sedimentation processes and erosion hydraulics will be studied, and methods developed to estimate sediment loads, reservoir sedimentation, stream stability at highway structures, and bridge scour. HEC-RAS will be used to perform 1-D steady flow and sediment transport modeling of river flows. (prereq: CV 310 )
