Class Hydraulics applied to environmental engineering II

This curricular unit aims to deepen the knowledge of applied hydraulics acquired in the introductory course, focusing on the design and analysis of hydraulic structures and urban water systems. Topics include orifices, spillways, reservoirs, water conveyance and distribution systems, and wastewater and stormwater drainage systems. The unit has a strong practical and project-oriented approach, enabling students to develop engineering solutions for hydraulic infrastructures while considering hydraulic, operational, and sustainability criteria. Its relevance within the study cycle lies in preparing students for the design and management of water supply and sanitation systems.

Not applicable

Theory - Review of fundamental concepts of applied hydraulics; - Flow through orifices and nozzles; - Spillways: types, operation, and design; - Reservoirs: flow regulation, storage, and safety structures; - Water conveyance systems: alignment, head losses, and pipe selection; - Water distribution networks: design criteria and hydraulic analysis; - Wastewater drainage systems: design flows and sizing; - Stormwater drainage systems: calculation methods and collector sizing; - Introduction to computational tools for hydraulic modelling. Practical - Solving hydraulic design exercises; - Development of water supply system projects; - Development of wastewater and stormwater drainage system projects; - Preparation of technical reports, design calculations, and engineering drawings.

The curricular unit will be taught through theoretical and practical classes, including the presentation of fundamental concepts, guided problem-solving sessions, and the development of hydraulic engineering projects. Computational tools will be used to support hydraulic calculations and analyses.   A technical visit to a hydraulics laboratory is also planned, allowing students to experimentally observe the operation of orifices, spillways, pipelines, and other hydraulic structures, as well as to become familiar with testing equipment and experimental methodologies used in research and professional practice.   Assessment - Test: 40% - Water conveyance system project: 20% - Water supply system project: 20% - Wastewater and stormwater drainage system project: 20%
