Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject builds upon the knowledge and skills acquired from the introductory subject Fluid Mechanics. Students are provided with an understanding of the elements and behaviour of hydraulic systems to enable them to design both elements of, and in some cases, complete hydraulic systems. Topics covered include the relationship between climate, landscape, catchment, effective runoff, flow estimation and hydraulic structures; the hydrological cycle; data acquisition and stream gauging; estimation of run-off from a catchment; flood routing through reservoirs and channels; computer modelling of urban drainage and sewerage; flood mitigation; design of culverts and retarding basins; hydraulic jumps and channel transitions. Engineers Australia stage 1 competencies covered in this subject are: 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.3.

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Articulate the relationship between climate, landscape, catchment, effective runoff, flow estimation and hydraulic structure. Includes EA stage 1 competencies:1.1 Comprehensive, theory based understanding of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and the engineering fundamentals applicable to the engineering discipline.1.2 Conceptual understanding of the, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline.

02. Calculate the effective runoff from catchments, determine the 'time of concentration' using multiple methods and determine the hydrographs for particular catchments and estimate through calculation the maximum design flood. Includes EA stage 1 competencies:2.1 Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.2.2 Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.

03. Apply the maximum design flood to determine the size of hydraulic structures and use of HEC-RAS software. Includes EA stage 1 competencies:2.1 Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.3.1 Ethical conduct and professional accountability.

04. Apply the knowledge of hydrographic performance of catchments to route floods through channels and reservoirs. Includes EA stage 1 competencies:2.1 Conceptual understanding of the, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline.2.1 Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving.2.2 Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools and resources.2.3 Ethical conduct and professional accountability.3.3 Creative, innovative and pro-active demeanour.
