Hydraulics
Hydraulics
Lecture : 4 Year : II
Tutorial : 2 Part : II
Practical : 1
Course Objective:
The knowledge of hydraulics is essential to the design of many hydraulic structures. The knowledge of
hydraulic is very important to the students and engineers in the field of hydraulic engineering . Hence, this
course has been designed to provide basic knowledge of hydraulics to the students of civil engineering so
that it would be helpful them to understand the basic phenomena of this science. This course shall be
considered as an introduction: common for all civil engineering faculties of Tribhuvan University in the
second year second part of undergraduate.
