Course Objectives	To develop an understanding of the hydraulics of open channel flow by using Conservation of Momentum, Energy and Mass principles and make necessary design of open channels and learn basic principles for sediment transport in open channels
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Students can determine uniform flow parameters in open channels by using conservation of mass and momentum principles. Students can determine flow parameters in open channel due to channel transitions using conservation of mass and energy principles and specific energy concept. Students can determine rapidly varied flow parameters in open channels such as hydraulic jump, etc. Students can design non-erodible and erodible open channels using relevant methods. Students can determine water surface profile of gradually varied flow in open channels and solve numerically using step methods. Students can determine the hydraulic parameters for flow measurement devices such as weirs and gates in open channel flow.
Course Content	Uniform flow in open channel, gradually varied flow in open channels, rapidly varied flow in open channels, sediment transport in open channels.
