HYDRAULIC

ENGINEERING
(CE-432)
Contact hrs: 3+3,
Credit hrs: 3+1
Subject Introduction
Hydraulic
engineering is the
application of Fluid
Mechanics
principles to
problems dealing
with the collection,
storage, control,
transport,
regulation,
measurement and
use of water.
Pre-Requisites:
1) Fluid Mechanics-I
2) Fluid Mechanics-II
3) Engineering Hydrology

Course Objectives:
To familiarize the student with the basics of Specific
energy, Gradually Varied Flow in open channels,
Surface Water Profiles, Sediment Transport, hydraulic
Modeling, Hydro-Power Engineering and Dam
Engineering.

To develop the capacity of students to deal with the


practical problems related to Hydraulic Engineering.
Course Outcomes:
After completion of this course, the students will be able to:

1. Identify the 'State of Flow' (critical, subcritcal, supercritical) using specific


energy and critical depths concepts in rectangular and non rectangular channels.

2. Draw and compute the water surface profiles for steady state-uniform and non-
uniform flow cases including Hydraulic Jump.

3. Analyse the unsteady flow problems, specifically emptying / filling of reservoirs,


and Water Hammer phenomenon in closed conduits.

4. Learn techniques to design and interpret scaled Physical Models for Channels using
similitude concepts.

5. Describe types of dams, their selection, site characteristics and can compute their
external Stability.

6. Calculate the required reservoir capacity, hydropower and energy potential at a


certain site.

7. Describe characteristics of sediments in channel, calculate transport capacity of


channel and to estimate the life of reservoir using standard trap efficiency
curves.

8. Apply HEC-RAS software for simulating the water surface profile in fixed bed
channel.
