AE2612 Hydraulic Engineering 7.5 credits

Spillways: hydraulic design and computations of overflow spillways, bottom outlets and energy dissipators and transport of water.

Hydraulics: unsteady flow, water hammer, mass oscillation and pressure transients in pipes and surge shafts, surge waves in channels.

Erosion: critical shear stress, Shields diagram, design of erosion protection.

Hydropower plants: design, fundamental hydraulic computations.

Flood mitigation measures: detention basins, levees, reservoir regulations.

After the course the student should be able to:

Perform hydraulic design of spillways, energy dissipators and selected hydraulic structures.

Perform computations for different types of unsteady flow, for example: water hammer, mass oscillations in pipe systems - surge chambers, surge waves in open channels.

Describe the erosion process and design erosion protection for a channel.

Analyse and design different flood mitigations measures.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• TEN1 - Written Examination, 3.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - Assignment, 4.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
