Base Knowledge
Mathematical, physical and hydraulic knowledge obtained in curricular units taught in the previous semesters.
Teaching Methodologies
Teaching consists of an initial theoretical presentation, followed by practical exercises. The exercises portray real situations, making the pupils familiar with the way fluid mechanics can be applied to the resolution of engineering problems. In the theoretical presentation the expository and inquisitive method is used. In the practical applications a demonstration of the methodologies is first introduced. Then new problems are proposed and students are encouraged to find out the solution. In the laboratorial lessons several assays are carried through, having the pupils to elaborate a small report. This activity has didactic value and allows the pupil to relate the theory with the obtained practical results.
Learning Results
The aim of this course is to complement the basic training in fluid mechanics gained in the course of Hidráulica Geral 1, required for the activity of an engineer in planning, design and management of hydraulic systems. On successful completion of this course, students will have the capacity to: 1. Solve problems related to the design and sizing of complex hydraulic systems namely: systems of multiple interconnected tanks; piping systems in series and parallel; water distribution networks; 2. Solve simple problems related to flow through weirs and orifices; 3. Solve problems related to the design and sizing of open channel flow systems; 4. Solve problems related to the design and sizing of pumping systems.
