Applied Hydraulics II

Students should have basic training in General Hydraulics, particularly about free surface flows.

Expository and inquiry method for explanation of theoretical subjects and resolution of exercises. Project of a drainage system (stormwater and wastewater) in groups of 2 or 3 students.

General objective:

Acquire the necessary knowledge for the interpretation, conception and design of drainage systems (stormwater and wastewater).

Generic skills:

– Understand the knowledge and know how to apply the acquired knowledge;

– Basing decision making;

– Promote self learning;

– Promoting collaborative work and teamwork;

– Develop written and oral technical communication.

Skills to be developed:

– Study and understand hydrological phenomena to determine the design variables influencing the design of stormwater drainage systems.

– Conceive, design, execute and operate a drainage systems (stormwater and wastewater);

– Learn the main chemical, physical and biological processes involved in wastewater treatment used in the design and management of wastewater treatment plants.
