Summary
This course (module) extends the material studied in CIVE1002 to consider the principles of fluid flow. The topics covered include:
(1) Conservation of mass, momentum and energy
(2) Steady flow in pipes and pipe systems
(3) Unsteady pipe flow (reservoir discharge/transfer)
(4) Open channel flow
For students requiring reassessment, this will be limited to the components which have been failed and these will be in the same form as the original assessment.
Target Students
Part I MEng students in the Department of Civil Engineering
Classes
- One 1-hour lecture each week for 12 weeks
- One 2-hour lecture each week for 12 weeks
Assessment
- 100% Exam 1 (2-hour): Module specific two hour written examination. For students requiring reassessment, this will be limited to the components which have been failed and these will be in the same form as the original assessment.
Educational Aims
• To introduce students to the principles of fluid flow and the simplified physical models used to describe flow in pipes and open channels.• To enable students to apply these physical models to analyse problems of relevance in civil engineering.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course (module), students will be able to:
1. Apply physical conservation principles to develop models for fluid flows.
2. Develop mathematical methods to solve civil-engineering themed problems.
3. Solve pipe flow, reservoir discharge and transfer problems.
4. Evaluate flow properties in open channels and around hydraulic structures.
This will contribute to the following programme learning outcomes (see Programme (Plan) Specifications for details):
Knowledge and Understanding: M1
Intellectual skills to: M2, M3, M6
