Undergraduate Core Course
This course introduces the fundamental principles governing the behavior of fluids at rest and in motion. Students learn fluid properties, hydrostatics, pressure measurement, conservation of mass, momentum and energy, Bernoulli's equation, dimensional analysis, viscous flow, boundary layer theory, drag and lift, pipe flow, and open channel hydraulics. Emphasis is placed on solving engineering problems through analytical methods and developing a solid understanding of fluid mechanics for civil and environmental engineering applications.
Undergraduate Core Course
This course focuses on the planning, analysis, and design of hydraulic structures used in irrigation and water resources systems. Topics include head regulators, cross regulators, canal falls, canal outlets, aqueducts, siphons, embankment dams, spillways, energy dissipation structures, and river training works. Students gain practical insight into hydraulic design principles, structural considerations, Indian Standards (IS Codes), and real-world engineering applications through numerical examples and design exercises.
Postgraduate Core Course
This course provides an integrated understanding of water resources planning, management, and optimization. Students explore deterministic and stochastic system analysis, reservoir operation, irrigation planning, groundwater management, linear programming, dynamic programming, multi-objective optimization, uncertainty analysis, and decision support systems. The course bridges theoretical concepts with contemporary challenges such as climate variability, sustainable water management, and hydro-informatics through case studies and computational applications.
