Hydraulic Design

Hydraulic engineering consists of the application of fluid mechanics to water flowing in an isolated environment (pipe, pump) or in an open channel (river, lake, ocean). Civil engineers are primarily concerned with open channel flow, which is governed by the interdependent interaction between the water and the channel, and they design hydraulic structures, such as sewage conduits, dams and breakwaters.

Civil engineers play a vital role in the optimal planning, design and operation of water resource systems. This app helps to easily calculate hydraulic section properties.
