Objectives
EXPECTED learning outcomes and competences to be acquired
To acquire knowledge and mastery of the advanced principles of hydraulics relating to free surface currents and solid transport.

Knowledge and understanding.
Acquire the knowledge necessary for understanding the following aspects
- operating criteria and design of the most common hydraulic works for free surface currents;
- principles governing varied motion conditions for free surface currents;
- principles governing the interaction between currents and objects;
- principles governing the analysis of solid transport.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding.
To acquire and develop the ability to apply the acquired knowledge for the understanding of advanced hydraulics problems related to free surface currents and solid transport in order to solve innovative and multidisciplinary problems and to elaborate and apply original and innovative approaches. In particular, it is intended to develop the ability to apply the skills acquired in order to
- understand the hydraulic principles for the design of free-surface hydraulic works
- analyse complex free-surface varied motion situations;
- analyse problems related to the interaction between currents and objects;
- analyse problems related to the analysis of solid transport.

Autonomy of judgement.
Ability to collect and integrate the knowledge acquired in the field of advanced hydraulics in order to manage its complexity and to integrate the information collected in order to express not only technical, but also social and ethical evaluations related to the application of the knowledge acquired.

Communication skills.
Communicate clearly and unambiguously to interlocutors with specialist training the knowledge, methods and conclusions related to the problems related to advanced hydraulics acquired and simplified ideas and basic concepts to non-specialist interlocutors.

Ability to learn.
Acquire the methodology required to independently develop the knowledge acquired through self-directed and autonomous study with a clear inclination towards innovation.

Teaching Methods
LECTURES (65%)
LECTURES WITH NUMERICAL EXERCISES (30%)
LECTURES IN LABORATORY (5%)
Verification of learning
EXAMS WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THE END OF THE COURSE ACCORDING TO THE OFFICIAL SCHEDULE
AIM OF THE EXAM IS TO VERIFY THE STUDENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE COURSE TOPICS
THE EXAM IS ORAL WITHOUT A WRITTEN PART.
THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS IN 4 QUESTIONS: THE FIRST 3 QUESTIONS ARE RELATED TO THE THE MAIN PART OF THE COURSE: HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES, UNSTEADY PRESSURE FLOW AND UNSTEADY FREE SURFACE FLOW, THE FOURTH QUESTION CONCERNS ONE OF THE OTHER PART OF THE COURSE
TO THE FINAL EXAM EVALUATION ALL THE FOUR QUESTIONS HAVE THE SAME WEIGTH
ON AVERAGE THE EXAM LASTS ABOUT 30-40 MINUTES
THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL CORRECTNESS OF THE ANSWERS, BUT ALSO THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY SUCH A KNOWLEDGE
THE “LAUDE” WILL BE AWARDED ACCORDING THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:
-QUALITY AND APPROPRIATENESS OF THE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE USED
-ABILITY TO CORRELATE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE COURSE AND, WHEN APPROPRIATED, WITH OTHER COURSES
ABILITY TO ADDRESS IN AN AUTONOMOUS MANNER PROBLEMS NOT EXPRESSLY DISCUSSED DURING THE COURSE
