Lab Experiments:
- Determination of Manning’s roughness coefficient and Chezy’s constant of laboratory flume
- Experimental investigation of relationship between specific energy and depth of flow
- Experimental study of flow characteristics over a hump or weir
- Experimental study of characteristics of hydraulic jump
Design assignments:
- To develop relationship between surface area, elevation and capacity of reservoir (To plot area elevation curve, elevation capacity curve, area capacity curve and combined area, elevation and capacity curve of reservoir)
- Estimation of live storage capacity of a reservoir for various operational scenarios. (Plotting mass curves (mass inflow and demand curve), proposing suitable emptying and filling program of reservoir)
- Estimation of hydropower potential for a given water power development scheme
- To estimate bed load, total sediment load and half life of a reservoir
- Computation of gradually varied flow profile by standard step method
