Teacher's notes

Attendance is strongly recommended, as exercises and application activities are an integral part of the training.

A written test will be taken and subsequently (if the result of the written test is satisfactory), the oral test.

The Applied Hydraulics course includes lectures and practical exercises aimed at understanding and applying the principles of hydraulics in real systems. In more detail, the course is organized into 40 hours of theoretical issues + 20 hours of practical applications + laboratory activity. Theoretical lectures cover the basic aspects of fluid motion in conduits and channels, pressure drops, and the operation of hydraulic works and adduction and drainage systems. Numerical exercises are devoted to solving practical problems and using experimental formulas and relationships. Laboratory activities are also planned for direct experimentation of the phenomena studied with a theoretical approach.
