HYDROMECHANICS

Course Description

The aim of this course is to conduct transportation of water by means of pipe flow and open channel flow, by explaining the physics of the flows and to develop the students’ knowledge so that they will be able to design the basis hydraulic systems. The course mainly has two parts. In the first part, the basic properties of pipe flow, the solution of one straight pipe for the head loss when the pipe characteristics and the transported amount of discharge given are given. Besides, the solutions of different pipe combinations like; pipes connected in series and parallel, pumped discharge lines, pumps connected in series and parallel and gravity pipelines are presented in the first part. In the second part, open channel flow solutions, specific energy and specific force concepts and the hydraulic jump phenomena is conducted.
