Open Channel Hydraulics

Analysis of open-channel flow is needed for the planning, design and operation of water resources projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis as well as made it possible to handle complex systems. This course presents the basic underlying concepts of Open Channel Flow and Hydraulics.

Textbook:
The following textbook will be used throughout the course and all students are advised to bring a copy. A printed copy is recommended, so that students can write notes and comments right into the book.
„Open-Channel Flow“, M. Hanif Chaudhry, 2nd Ed., 2008, Springer Berlin, ISBN: 0387301747

Lectures:
Lectures will cover many chapters of Chaudhry’s book, but time won’t allow an in-depth coverage of all topics. Therefore students are encouraged to read some more at home after the lectures.
The lectures will be held on Tuesday (October 16th, 23rd, 30th and November 6th, 13th, and 20th at 14:15).

Information for students at the TU Berlin: The course will be accepted as elective course for Bachelor students of Civil Engineering
