Hydraulics

- Hydrostatics (Fundamental Principle of Hydrostatics, notion of buoyancy 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 study: Mariotte vessel, emptying of a tank, Pitot tube, Venturi)

- Hydrodynamics of real fluids (origin of pressure losses and estimation of linear and singular pressure losses, generalized Bernouilli's theorem with pressure losses)

- Hydraulic machines (pump operation, H(Q) characteristics, operating point)

- Free surface hydraulics (hydraulic characteristics, Manning Strickler formula, weir formula, rating curves)

Hourly volumes:

CM :10h

TD :10h

TP : 16 hours

To give the theoretical bases of hydraulics. To provide the tools to solve common problems of: calculation of pressures and pressure drops in pipes for their dimensioning, choice of pumps, calculation of flows in open or closed pipes. Introduce the basics of free surface hydraulics.
