Objectives:
This course serves as a continuation to that in previous semesters. It covers more detailed and direct examples
on the applications to closed and open system flows, coastal processes, some aspects of sediment transport
technology, water hammer and mass oscillation in piping systems.

Learning outcomes:
At the end of this course, the student should be able to:-
11.
1. Understand and carry out analysis of open channel flow.
2. Understand the hydraulic considerations involved in hydraulic structures.
3. Appreciate the physical processes such as sedimentation in rivers.
4. Carry out calculations to analyse water hammer.
Transferable Skills:
