Description:
This 1-week course combines lectures and class problems
in the study of basic open channel flow. Specifically,
subject matter includes forces on submerged objects,
similitude, velocity profiles, resistance, the momentum
principles, roughness coefficients energy losses,
backwater computation, and flow through culverts, flow
over dams, and flow through weirs. Prior to the course, participants will be sent a math refresher and a video lecture of the conservation of energy concept to review before the class start date. Post-course testing
will be used in this course to evaluate the effectiveness
