This course introduces the principles and applications of open channel flow. We will cover several topics including analysis and characteristics of flow in open channels (natural and artificial); uniform flow (rivers, sewers), flow measuring devices (weirs, flumes), gradually varied flow (backwater and other flow profiles, flood routing), rapidly varied flow (hydraulic jump, spillways), and channel design problems (geometric considerations, scour, channel stabilization, sediment transport). Analytical and numerical techniques will be discussed; programming assignments will be carried out in common software.
