The study includes mainly flow of newton fluids, partly also problems of unnewton fluids flow. Theoretical bases of kinematics of viscous fluids - three main equations. Up to date knowledge of pressure system flow and open channels in steady and unsteady regime.

Learning outcomes
Subject builds on knowledge of hydraulics. New insights are obtained in particular in the issue of extreme hydraulic load structures. This is the overflows through the weirs and outflows of the bottom outlets with a strong influence of level and spatial conditions. Students will be prepared for the implementation of complex calculations of flow in systems with a free surface and pressure, will be able to subsequently solve the research tasks in the field of hydrotechncs and hydropower engineering.
Prerequisites
Physics, hydraulics, mathematics, specialized courses of water management
Corequisites
Hydrology, statistics, probability, hydraulic steel structures
Planned educational activities and teaching methods
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.
Forms and criteria of assessment
Consultations realising, the exam contains a written test and an oral part.
Objective
Improvement of hydraulics, particulary of flow with complicated structure. Gain knowledge is applicable in designing and mainly research activities together with application of mathematical models of fluid flow.
