• Hydraulics is a subset of ‘Fluid Mechanics’ where the focus is on liquids
(especially water) in pipes, lakes, rivers and open channels. Uses the
theory for ‘incompressible’ fluids.
• Fluid Mechanics is the science that deals with the action of forces on fluids
✓ Fluids at rest – Hydrostatics
✓ Fluids in motion – Kinematics, Fluid dynamics
• An incompressible fluid is a fluid, the density of which remains constant
during flow. Liquids are normally treated as being incompressible, as a gas
can be when only slight pressure variation occurs.

Free surface is the hydraulic grade line
• Steady flow over a spillway of constant width, where the waterflow progressively faster
as it goes over the brink of the spillway (from A to B), caused by the suddenly steeper
slope. The faster velocity requires a smaller depth, in accordance with conservation of
mass (continuity).
• From reach B to C, the flow is uniform because the velocity, and thus depth, are
constant.
• After reach C the abrupt flattening of channel slope requires the velocity to suddenly,
and turbulently, slow down. Thus there is a deeper depth downstream of C than in
reach B to C.
Flow under a sluice gate
Two different depths for the same
discharge
• Common examples of unsteady open channel flows include flood flows in rivers
and tidal flows in estuaries, irrigation channels, headrace and tailrace channel of
hydropower plants, navigation canals, stormwater systems and spillway operation.

In unsteady open channel
flows, the velocities and
water depths change with
time and longitudinal
position.
For one-dimensional
applications, the relevant
flow parameters (e.g. V and
h) are functions of time and
longitudinal distance.

◼ The flow has to be steady ,
◼ The fluid is incompressible (water is usually assumed to be incompressible)
◼ The fluid flow is inviscid (= frictionless flow)
Restrictions of the Bernoulli Equation
A fluid which has no viscosity; it therefore can support no shearing stress, and flows without
energy dissipation. Also known as ideal fluid; nonviscous fluid; perfect fluid.

• The flow can be described at any location and any
time by 2 variables, flow velocity (V) or the water
discharge (Q), and the water depth (h).
• The unsteady flow can be described by 2 equations:
the conservation of mass and the conservation of
momentum.

The forces acting on the control volume
contained between Sections 1 and 2
include:
• the pressure forces at sections 1 and 2 (the
pressure force components on the channel
sidewalls if the channel width vary in the x-
direction)
• the weight of the control volume
• the reaction force of the bed (equal, in
magnitude, to the weight in absence of vertical
fluid motion)
• the flow resistance opposing fluid motion

• Hydraulic engineering is the application of the principles of fluid
mechanics to problems dealing with the collection, storage, control,
transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water.
• In Australia, The National Committee on Water Engineering (NCWE)
is the peak representative body for Engineers Australia members with
an interest in surface water hydrology, hydraulics, water quality,
water sensitive urban design and water resources.
Hydraulic engineering
• Hydraulic structures are submerged, partially submerged or floated in
water.
• By the features of their actions on the stream flow, main hydraulic structures
are distinguished as water retaining structures, water conveying structures,
and special-purpose structures.
Types of Hydraulic Structures
Dams are typical water retaining structures that affect
closure of the stream and create heading-up afflux.
• Concrete dams – gravity, flood control, power
generation, and water management, e.g. Hume Dam,
in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia
• Embankment dams - The Wivenhoe Dam is a rock and
earth-fill embankment dam with a concrete spillway
across the Brisbane River in South East Queensland,
Australia.
Water retaining structures

The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric gravity
dam that spans the Yangtze River,
in Yichang, Hubei province, central China, downstream
of the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam has been
the world's largest power station in terms of installed
capacity (22,500 MW) since 2012.
Hydroelectric Power
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam
The theory is to build a dam on a large river that has a large drop
in elevation. The dam stores lots of water behind it in
the reservoir.
Near the bottom of the dam wall there is the water intake. Gravity
causes it to fall through the penstock inside the dam. At the end of
the penstock there is a turbine propellor, which is turned by the
moving water.
The shaft from the turbine goes up into the generator, which
produces the power.

• Water conveying structures are artificial channels cut in the ground and made of
either ground materials such as soil and rock (e.g., canals and tunnels) or artificial
materials such as concrete and metal (e.g., aqueducts, flumes, siphons, pipelines).
Water conveying structures

Divided roads may have an open drain in the median.
Drainage system
The flow velocity depends on the discharge
rate, size and shape of the channel, slope
of the channel, and lining (roughness) of
the channel.

• Used to carry flow through obstructions
• Road embankments
• Railway embankments
• Various Configurations/ cross sections

  • 26. • Hydraulic engineering is the application of the principles of fluid mechanics to problems dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water. • In Australia, The National Committee on Water Engineering (NCWE) is the peak representative body for Engineers Australia members with an interest in surface water hydrology, hydraulics, water quality, water sensitive urban design and water resources.

  • 27. • Hydraulic structures are submerged, partially submerged or floated in water. • By the features of their actions on the stream flow, main hydraulic structures are distinguished as water retaining structures, water conveying structures, and special-purpose structures. Types of Hydraulic Structures
  • 28. Dams are typical water retaining structures that affect closure of the stream and create heading-up afflux. • Concrete dams – gravity, flood control, power generation, and water management, e.g. Hume Dam, in the Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia • Embankment dams - The Wivenhoe Dam is a rock and earth-fill embankment dam with a concrete spillway across the Brisbane River in South East Queensland, Australia.

  • 29. The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric gravity dam that spans the Yangtze River, in Yichang, Hubei province, central China, downstream of the Three Gorges. The Three Gorges Dam has been the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22,500 MW) since 2012. Hydroelectric Power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam The theory is to build a dam on a large river that has a large drop in elevation. The dam stores lots of water behind it in the reservoir. Near the bottom of the dam wall there is the water intake. Gravity causes it to fall through the penstock inside the dam. At the end of the penstock there is a turbine propellor, which is turned by the moving water. The shaft from the turbine goes up into the generator, which produces the power. https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/hydroelectric-power-how-it-works?qt-
