A LECTURE EXPERIMENT IN HYDRAULICS

A First Course in Hydraulics

This course of lectures is an introduction to hydraulics, the traditional name for fluid mechanics in civil and environmental engineering where sensible and convenient approximations to apparentlycomplex situations are made. An attempt is made to obtain physical understanding and insight into the subject by emphasising that we are following a modelling process, where simplicity, insight, and ad...

Lecture Recording - vom Experiment zum Hochschulalltag

Bereits lange vor der Verbreitung von Personal Computern und Internet übertrug am 9. Dezember 1968 Douglas Engelbart einen Konferenzbeitrag online als Video, um seine neueste Erfindung – die Computermaus – vorzustellen. In den 1970er Jahren war an manchen Universitäten die analoge Aufzeichnung von Vorträgen mit (S-)VHS-Video üblich. So hat z. B. die Universität Stanford Vorträge berühmter Hochs...

Animal Rights Consideration is a Necessity in Conducting an Experiment

Computational Hydraulics

The aim is to give an understanding of the numerical approximation and solution of physical systems, especially in open channel hydraulics, but with more general application in hydraulics and fluid mechanics generally. The marriage of hydraulics and computations has not always been happy, and often unnecessarily complicated methods have been developed and used, when a little more computational ...

Leaf hydraulics.

Leaves are extraordinarily variable in form, longevity, venation architecture, and capacity for photosynthetic gas exchange. Much of this diversity is linked with water transport capacity. The pathways through the leaf constitute a substantial (>or=30%) part of the resistance to water flow through plants, and thus influence rates of transpiration and photosynthesis. Leaf hydraulic conductance (...
