Description:

Flow of real liquid (mathematical modelling, Navier-Stokes equations, turbulence). Dimensional analysis and dynamic similarity. Unsteady flow (waves and transients). Flow structure and velocity distribution. Flow around solid bodies (boundary layer, wake). Solid particles in quiescent and flowing liquid. Non-Newtonian flow. Flow in pump-pipeline systems. Wastewater hydraulics. Hydraulics of water structures.
