Hydraulics is one of the basic courses in civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, environmental engineering, architecture, engineering physics and other majors. This science focuses on the laws of fluid dynamics and their interaction with boundaries.

The main objectives of this course are to develop the following:

Understand the basic concepts and related theories of hydraulics
Innovation awareness and scientific literacy
Ability to analyze and solve hydraulic problems encountered in practice

Course content focuses on basic theory:

Fluid physical and mechanical properties
hydrostatics
fluid kinematics
Hydrodynamics
Dimensional Analysis and Similarity
Flow resistance and energy loss

Hydraulics will expose you to important and interesting applications of mathematics and mechanics in engineering. You will participate in experiments and watch videos in this course. If you take this course, you will not only gain expertise, but you will also have fun and learn more about the nature of hydraulics in a fun and engaging way.

"Hydraulics" is a basic technical course for water conservancy, civil engineering, environment, architecture and engineering physics and other related majors. It takes water as the main object to study the laws of fluid motion and the interaction between fluid and boundaries. The main task of this course is to cultivate students' knowledge and abilities in three aspects: (1) Master the basic concepts and theories of hydraulics; (2) Cultivate innovative consciousness and scientific literacy; (3) Cultivate the ability to analyze and solve practical problems in engineering hydraulics. Ability and experimental skills. The course content includes: basic part, special topic part and experimental part. Basic part: 1. Physical and mechanical properties of fluid; 2. Statics; 3. Kinematics; 4. Fundamentals of dynamics; 5. Dimensional analysis and similarity theory; 6. Flow resistance and energy loss. Topics: 1. Swirl flow and potential flow; 2. Theoretical basis of boundary layer and surrounding flow; 3. Pressure pipe flow flows out from orifices and nozzles. Experimental part: including conventional teaching experiments and design (innovation) experiments.
