Description
- Hydrostatics (Fundamental Principle of Hydrostatics, notion of buoyant force, Archimedes' theorem)
- Fluid kinematics (streamline, trajectory, emission line, flow rate, Reynolds number, laminar, turbulent flow)
- Hydrodynamics of perfect fluids (conservation of mass, conservation of energy with Bernouilli's theorem, case studies: Mariotte vessel, emptying a tank, Pitot tube, Venturi)
- Hydrodynamics of real fluids (origin of head losses and estimation of linear and singular head losses, generalized Bernouilli theorem with head losses)
- Hydraulic machines (pump operation, H(Q) characteristics, operating point)
- Free-surface hydraulics (hydraulic characteristics, Manning Strickler formula, weir formula, pressure curves)

Objectives
Provides the theoretical foundations of hydraulics. Provide tools for solving common problems such as: calculating pressures and pressure drops in pipelines with a view to sizing, selecting pumps, calculating flow rates in open or closed pipelines. Introduce the basics of free-surface hydraulics.
