CE 3062 - Overview
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to provide a basic background in hydraulics as applied to civil engineering problems. Topics include a fluid mechanics review, open channel flow, pumps and pump systems, design of sewer systems and storm drainage systems, an
d design of water supply systems and water distribution networks.
Course Outline
Introduction
Fluid mechanics review
Flow in open channels
Wastewater flows and measurement
Design of sanitary sewers
Analysis of infiltration and inflow
Design of storm sewers
Combined sewer overflows
Pumps
Pump station design
Water supply systems
Water distribution networks
Environmental problems
Course Textbook
Fundamentals of hydraulic engineering systems, by Hwang and Houghtalen is used
as the text for this course Grade Formula
The subject includes three in-class quizzes (typically worth 60%), approximately six homework sets (typically worth 15%), and
two group projects (typically worth 25%)
Course Project
This course typically includes three group design projects in which. Teams of three students work together and prepare a report summarizing the results of the project. The first project requires the design of a sewer system for a small community. The
second project involves the design of a stormwater drainage system for a a sewer system design, the second project includes a storm sewer design, and the third project makes use of the KYPipe program to evaluate the design of a water distribution system.
Field Trip
To maintain a physical perspective of civil engineering hydraulics and projects, this course includes at least one field trip. It is anticipated that this year’s class will include a field trip to the Alden Research Laboratory, which includes a number of
hydraulic and hydrologic physical models.
