This is an introductory level course dealing with the properties and behaviour of fluids in usual civil<br/>and environmental engineering applications. The fundamental principles of continuity, energy<br/>and momentum are introduced and applied to applications that include fluid statics, fluid dynamics,<br/>pipe flows, similarity laws, fluid loading and unsteady flows. The course provides essential<br/>knowledge for the study of natural flow phenomena in rivers, estuaries oceans and the<br/>atmosphere. It provides the fundamental theory for design of hydraulic structures such as culverts,<br/>spillways, energy dissipators and pipe networks. -- Course Website
