Learning outcomes |
The Hydraulic II curricular unit aim to provide the students a good training in the field of free surface flow, through orifices and over weirs and in porous media, as well as, the characteristics and operating conditions of pumps and turbines. Ensure a solid basis in solving problems or applications of this area in Civil Engineering. It also aims to contribute to their training under the critical thinking in problem solving and the acquisition of interpersonal skills of individual and team work.
At the end of the curricular unit the students must have acquired the following competences:
a) Ability of the computation of free surface profiles in steady flows on fixed bed open channels.
b) Ability of the determination of orifices and weirs flow capacity.
c) Ability of the computation of flow rates and piezometric levels in unidirectional flows in homogeneous porous media.
d) Knowledge on choice and functioning of pumps and turbines.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The evaluation is performed in two phases:
- Continuous evaluation (during the semester): 2 tests (theoretical and Practical) (FR) and the laboratory reports (LR).
- Final exam: 1 exam (theoretical and practical) (EX) and the laboratory reports(TL), for students admitted.
