Course abstract

Subject provides knowledge of the fluid, its characteristics and the forces at work. Existing peace deals with fluids and fluid movement both laminar and turbulent regime, as well as the hydraulic resistance to flow and their calculation. Acquainted with the channel calculations.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

Knowledge and understanding of basics concepts of hydraulics course, under consideration of the regularities of the liquid at rest and in motion. Evaluation of completed and defended laboratory works and permanent works. Skills to the size of hydraulic measurements and apply knowledge of water management calculations, hydrotechnics, water supply and sewage systems. Evaluation of completed and defended laboratory works and permanent works. Competence to be able to analyze information on the liquids, it flows to the hydraulic pipes and construction estimates. Assessment with written test.

Requirements for awarding credit points

Laboratory and practical work has been submitted and successfully defended. Test must be passed. Regular work in the audience, 75% attendance.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

1. The student must independently acquire theoretical knowledge of the next subject of the lecture and be able to discuss the lecture with the teacher.
2. The development of practical works takes place in the audience. The descriptive part of the work to be submitted, the graphic material and the design thereof shall be performed independently in conformity with the task, the regulations for the drawing up of student work and other instructions.
3. The development of laboratory works takes place in the audience. The descriptive part of the work to be submitted, the graphic material and the design thereof shall be performed independently in conformity with the task, the regulations for the drawing up of student work and other instructions.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

1. Generally. The assessment of the study course depends on the amount of points obtained during the term. In total, you can get a maximum of 100 points, equivalent to 10 balls.
2. Works to be carried out:
a. four practical works, each with up to 10 points (a total of 40 points);
b. four laboratory works, each with up to 10 points (a total of 40 points)
C. participation in all classes (maximum 10 points in total, 100% attendance);
D. practical work in the e-study system has been submitted within the specified time period (a total of maximum 10 points);
3. Conditions for the overall assessment:
