CIV242

Course Description

This is the first course in Water Resources Engineering. Fluid Mechanics encompasses a huge range of topics which deal with the behavior of gasses and liquids under static and dynamic conditions. The course covers the following topics: fluid properties; fluid statics and motion, pressure and force under hydrostatic conditions, manometers, buoyancy and stability of floating and submerged bodies, mass, energy and momentum conservation laws; dimensional analysis and modeling; friction factor and losses in pipes; and fluid measurements. Taken simultaneously with CIV242L (1 credit hour).
