Description
Fluid mechanics plays a key role in many fields of engineering. For engineers it is therefore crucial to understand the basic principles of fluid mechanics.
Structures for supplying water, drainage systems and the protection against water all fall within the scope of civil engineering. Certain areas from the overall field of fluid mechanics are of secondary importance in the civil engineering curriculum, such as the basic principles of compressible flow.
The bellow presentation is divided into several sections such as: general principles of fluid mechanics that are relevant to multiple disciplines, as basic equations, as it is the continuity and Bernoulli equations, pipe flow and turbomachines.
Other section covers the specific topics for civil engineering with a focus on hydraulic engineering. This section presents open-channel flow, open-channel sediment transport and flow through porous media.
The subsections are preceded by information pages containing basic knowledge. These pages explain the technical and physical relationships in a way that it is simple to understand, making it easy to jump into each subject area. The corresponding devices then facilitate the practical demonstration and investigation of the relationships.
