Course Objectives The aim is to explain hydraulics systems with giving information about the change of turbine operation regime and the flow rate varies.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Compute the waterhammer problems.
  • Compare the illustrative examples related to waterhammer.
  • Study the unsteady flows in open channels.
  • Analyze the mass oscillations in surge tanks.
  • Determine the methods and devices controlling waterhammer.
Course Description The course plans to discuss the causes and results of the unsteady flow problems in detail, with sample worked examples, computational methods in the unsteady flow analysis as well as the procedures to control the undesirable results
