Main themes - Open-channel hydraulics - Theory of weirs - Introduction to scale models and hydraulic measurements in laboratory
Aims - Knowledge and understanding of fluvial processes with the aim of designing fluvial works
Content - Introduction: field of application of Fluvial Hydraulics, types of rivers, basic elements in morphodynamics (2 hours) - Free-surface flow : canals, sewers and rivers (16 hours) * Uniform flow : Chézy and Manning equations, optimal section, compound and composite channels, uniform-depth calculation in canals and sewers * Gradually varied flow : specific energy, critical depth, critical slope, water profiles: theory et practical calculation * Flow in natural rivers: pseudo-uniform flow * Suddenly varied flow : hydraulic jump, submerged hydraulic jump * Flows in natural rivers: pseudo-uniform flow * Flow in irregular geometry: Flow between a bottom outlet and a reservoir, Changes in bed slope, Changes in the channel width and obstacles: bridges and dam piers, Venturi channels, bottom sills, broad crested weir * Flow in rivers with floodplains - Theory of weirs (5 hours) * Stability of weir flows * Sharp crested weirs * Creager broad crested weirs * Spillways * Side spillways - Introduction to scale models and hydraulic measurements in laboratory (2 hours)
