Hydraulics

Course aims

The course aims to familiarize students with the basic issues of peace and flowing water - hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. They discussed the core principles and mechanisms for understanding and applying this knowledge in solving complex problems and the movement of water in the landscape and urban municipalities. They discussed the basic differences in fluid přorozených watercourses and sewage networks.

Output knowledge, skills and competence:
After completing the course the student should demonstrate proficiency in terms of the computational hydraulics. Then apply the acquired knowledge in practical applications, which consist primarily of analysis of river flow for applications in the riverbed adjustment problems and their revitalization.
