Learning outcomes
The course expands the knowledge in the field of hydraulics and physics. The goal is to obtain an overview of the current state of the measurement methods and techniques used for modeling the flow on the scale of the hydraulic structures. The doctoral student will be after graduation able to make a draft procedure for model tests of flow on or within a complex of hydraulic structures.
Prerequisites
Mathematics, physics, special courses of water management specialization.
Corequisites
Basics of metrology, steel and concrete structures in water engineering.
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
The exam contains a written test and an oral part.
Objective
Students gain knowledge of theory of hydrodynamic phenomenons modelling including possible reduction of similitude scale. Overview of application of modern measuring techniques including contactless methods (laser, ultrasonic) for identification of flow structure. The measuring technology will be introduced to students in laboartory.
