COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Calculation. It covers the properties and types of fluids and it is applications in engineering systems; the fluid statics, fluid properties and behavior, pressure measurement devices and hydrostatic forces on surfaces; the fluid kinematics, conservation laws, control volume and Bernoulli’s equation and applications; the flow measurement techniques, momentum equation and applications and dimensional analysis and similitude; the flow through pipes, laminar and turbulent flow in pipes; and the head loss in pipe systems.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the friction factor calculation, piping system analysis, pump fundamentals and selection and flow rate and velocity calculations; the open channel flow, uniform flow calculations and energy and momentum in open channels; the gradually varied flow (GVF), hydraulic structures and unsteady flow basics; the hydraulic design of piping networks, hydraulic transients and hydraulic structures and dams; the role of CFD in fluid mechanics including governing equations, meshing and boundary conditions and application in system optimization; and the hydraulic system troubleshooting covering leak detection, performance evaluation and maintenance and testing procedures.
