CS5402 - Advanced Hydraulic and Coastal Engineering

Open channel flow, hydraulic jumps, transitions, backwater curves, gutter and inlet design, culvert design. Case studies from local channels, culverts and gutters. Coastal Engineering: wave generation, transformation and dissipation; tropical cyclone waves and water levels; storm surge and coastal flooding; beach erosion and sediment transport

Learning Outcomes

• work both individually and as part of a team in the analysis and design aspects of hydraulic and coastal engineering problems with emphasis on tropical conditions;
• combine and integrate knowledge of hydraulics for analysis of hydraulics and coastal engineering design;
• integrate surface waves and coastal engineering concepts in design and analysis;
• select and apply computational models for addressing special problems related to open channel hydraulics.
