Course Objectives Theoretical background provided during the courses of Fluid Mechanics and Hydromechanics is supported by practical and operational examples. The aim is to analyze the design of hydraulic infrastructures.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Design the basic water transmission and distribution structures.
  • Apply population and flowrate forecasting for a sample city or district.
  • Explain the infrastructures in the hydraulic branch.
  • Apply the fluid mechanics knowledge.
  • Interpret the concept of integrated water management.
Course Description The course includes the design of the engineering infrastructures which are used to transfer water from source to the city and distribute it through the city.
