Offered by

Supply Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

General admission requirements.

Main purpose

To provide students the understanding of basic hydraulics and design urban sewer systems. Furthermore, the student learn to use Mike Urban to analyze and design sewer systems.

Knowledge

After completion of the course, the student must have the knowledge of:

• The physics of basic hydraulics

• The design of rainwater and sewer systems

• The Mike Urban program

Skills

After completion of the course, the student must have the skills to:

Basic Hydraulics:

• Determine type of flow
• Use energy equation
• Calculate single and pipe losses
• Calculate hydraulic and energy grade line
• Use exponential and C&W’s formula

Sewer systems:

• Calculate inlet for rainwater and wastewater pipelines
• Design and dimension rainwater and wastewater pipelines
• Perform back water calculations
• Design basins

Mike Urban
• Create pipe systems and catchment areas
• Create local CDS-rains with or without climate factor
• Analyze pipe systems and basins with CDS-rains
• Present result as drawings and animations

Competences

After completion of this course, the student must have the competences to:
• Understand hydraulic problems
• Plan and dimension of Urban sewer systems
• Calculate and analyze urban sewer systems in Mike Urban

Evaluation

Examination

Prerequisites:

Type of examination:

1 hand-in mandatory group assignment (a Mike Urban project) in the end of the semester, which counts for minimum 70% of final grade.

Individual assignments (homework and during classes) count for 30% of final grade (15% each).

If no individual assignments has been made the final hand-in counts for 100% of final grade.

Allowed tools:

Re-exams:

3 hours written exam

Grading criteria

Grading based on the Danish 7-point scale.
