Presentation Transcript

  1. Hydraulic Engineering “The application of fluid mechanics and other science and engineering disciplines in the development of structures, projects, and systems involving water.”

  2. Hydraulic Engineering Projects • Extension of water distribution and wastewater collection networks into new subdivisions • Hydropower • China, Turkey, Canada, India... • Cooling water for nuclear and fossil fuel power plants (and for Cornell) • Discharge of water into the environment • Flood control • Stream restoration • 1.2 billion people need safe drinking water

  3. Course Overview • Course web • Syllabus • Homework • Project • Labs

  4. Introductions... • My name • About me! • When I’m not doing coursework I like to … • One thing I’d like to learn in Hydraulic Engineering is…

  5. Project Ideas • Comparison of distributed vs. centralized water storage for small community water supplies • Phase 2 selection/design of a flow control device for metering alum • Design algorithm for a branched distribution system that comes close to minimizing cost and maximizing performance • You may have additional ideas related to pipe flow or open channel flow – bring them to next week’s section
