Numerical Analysis
Hydraulic Engineering
Geotechnics
This course allows the student to acquire knowledge and skills associated with the operation of Hydraulic Structures and Systems, linking the theoretical aspects of fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering, with the techniques of engineering problem solving using numerical methods. The applications cover the case of main types of hydraulic works that are used in Civil Engineering. After the course, student will understand the operating principles of the different types of hydraulic works, while at the same time recognizing and working the design criteria of these works.
