Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics
Hydraulics & Water Engineering involves the use of hydrologic and hydraulic principles
to design
irrigation and drainage systems, reservoirs, navigational waterways, and flood
control levees, dams, lakes,
water distribution system etc.
It is very important to study the
properties of fluids
like
viscosity, surface tension, specific gravity etc to understand the
flow phenomena.
Bernoulli's
equation,
continuity equation and momentum theorem are
important in the analysis of hydraulic systems. Open channel hydraulics deals with free surface
flow, such as in rivers, canals, lakes, etc.
It is very important to study
applied
mechanics to understand the principles of hydraulics or Fluid
mechanics,
About 97% of the earth's water is salty and only 3% is available as
fresh water in the form of rivers, lakes, glaciers and artificial
reservoirs and underground water.
The salty water can be converted into fresh water through the
process of desalination.
