Hydraulics of open channel flow. Conservation laws for open channel flow; specific energy; specific force; uniform flow; water surface profiles; hydraulic jump. Assessment of flow through culverts. Unsteady flow in open channels: development of unsteady flow equations, method of characteristics, surge propagation; flood waves. River ice formation and its impact on flow behavior. Includes a real-world design project and some laboratory experiments. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hours
