This module introduces the fundamentals of fluid kinematics and dynamics, including methods of describing fluid motion, velocity and acceleration analysis, and flow visualization techniques. It also covers Bernoulli’s and momentum equations with practical applications such as Venturimeter, orifice meter, Pitot tube, and pipe bends.
This course module covers the principles of fluid flow through orifices, pipes, open channels, and notches/weirs, emphasizing hydraulic coefficients, energy losses, and discharge calculations. It includes theoretical concepts, derivations, and numerical problem-solving relevant to practical hydraulic engineering applications.
