Lecture notes on Hydraulics and Maritime Engineering by John Fenton

 

Lecture series presented at the University of Karlsruhe

Applied Hydraulics A first course in hydraulics, with a longer and a bit more readable introduction than Engineering Hydraulics 1 below, but generally shorter treatment of details. No rotating machinery, no networks of pipes. Lectures: 24 hours, Tutorials: 24 hours 75 Pages 1.1 MB
Numerical Methods An introduction to numerical skills, presenting theory and applications largely using the optimisation package in Microsoft Excel. Uses Excel workbooks 1-Functions, 2-Solution, 3-Solver, 4-Fitting, and 5-Diff-eqns Lectures: 4 hours 32 Pages 0.5 MB
River Engineering An introduction to waves and disturbances in channels, measurement, and structures Lectures: 10 hours, Tutorials: 10 hours 56 Pages 0.9 MB
