Syllabus 
Advanced open-channel hydraulics and applications: design of spillways, energy dissipators & hydraulic models. Reservoir management. Environmental impact on the catchment.
Subject rationale: The aim of the subject is to develop a sound understanding of the hydraulic design of civil engineering structures and of their environmental impact. Fundamental fluid mechanics principles are applied to professional water engineering problems.
Subject goals: The subject CIVL4120 is a professional subject in which the students learn how to apply fundamental principles to practical situations. The design of a reservoir is based on a system approach. The structure must be analysed as part of the surrounding catchment and the hydrology plays an important role. Structural and hydraulic constraints interact, and the design of a hydraulic structure is a complex exercise altogether. First the system must be identified. What are the design objectives ? What are the constraints ? What is the range of options ? What is the "best choice" ? Its detailed analysis must be conducted and the engineers should ask : is this solution really satisfactory ? During design stages, physical and computational models may be reliable 'tools' to compare the performances of various design options.After completion of the subject, each student will know how to apply the fundamental fluid mechanics principles to professional designs and they will be familiar with the multi-disciplinary aspects of an engineering project.
Assumed background: The subject is a professional design subject. It is expected that the students have mastered the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics (subject CIVL2131) and that they have understood completely the basic concepts of catchment hydraulics. (subject CIVL3140). This course is an advanced hydraulic engineering elective and a professional course.
The subject is the second of a series of two subjects (CIVL3140 and CIVL4120) dealing with hydraulic structures and their interactions with the environment.

Structure of the lectures
The subject presents advanced hydraulic engineering
lecture material in open channel flow. Considering a complete catchment,
from upstream to downstream, the issues of soil erosion, sediment motion
and reservoir sedimentation are first covered. Then the hydraulic design
of small dams and weirs is discussed. A key component is the spillway
system whcih includes the crest, the chute and the downstream energy
dissipator. Last the propagation of flood waves in the downstream
catchment is presented : i.e., unsteady open channel flows.

Application
Field trip on 14 August 2018
Field works will place on 14 August 2018 at Eprapah Creek in the Redlands rea. The field study is compulsory. Students must be on site ahead of time for measurements to be performed between 6:00am and 6:00pm to survey the hydrodynamics and water quality of the estuarine zone. The results will be used to calibrate and validate the numerical modelling of the estuary based upon the method of characteristics and Saint Venant equations as well as to gain a first hand experience of a real-world natural system.
