Water being an element with which a civil engineer will have to face, in virtually every field of activity, it is necessary to know the dynamic and kinematic aspects (causes and effects) that govern its behaviour. This subject is presented with a basic aspect since it taughts concepts and methods outlined for the first time in the course (flow conditions, basic equations, dimensional analysis, modelling...). The main issues intended to be clearly dominated by the students are:
1. Understand the main concepts of fluid mechanics and its implications for Civil Engineering.
2. Knowing the fundamental equations governing incompressible flows.
3. Know the difference between different types of flows.
4. The basic concepts of dimensional analysis and their application to engineering problems.
The contents established in the Verified Report of the Title are:
* Fluid statics and kinematics
* Fluid dynamics
* Fluid flow facilities.
* Equipment and accessories for fluid installations

CT11. Use information in a foreign language.
CT12. Ability to solve problems through the integrated application of their knowledge.
SPECIFIC SKILLS (CE):
CECC7. Knowledge of the concepts and technical aspects related to pipeline systems in both pressure and free surface
Lectures and interactive seminars, as well as individual and collective tutorials.
Lectures consist on the explanation and development of theoretical and fundamental contents that will be conducted by means of master classes for large groups of students.
The students should dedicate a previous period of time to go over the contents of each Unit, as well as the subsequent study. With the aim of encouraging the daily student work, within every Unit a control test of the theoretical contents learned during the lectures is programmed, ensuring that the students will have the necessary knowledge for the proper development of the interactive seminars.
As regards to the interactive seminars, they are conceived as a whole of activities in which the students participation is fundamental. During the seminars, the students will solve problems and practical questions, mainly in groups, allowing them to fine-tune and practically apply the knowledge derived from the lectures. In the same way, questions of difficult understanding will be also formulated and solved by the students.
Ordinary call
- One final exam (7 points). Written test with theoretical contents and resolution of applied problems.
Competences to be evaluated: all general and specific competences.
- Volunteer practices and work (3 points maximum). Attendance class practices and written exposition of the results obtained. Planning and resolution of a water transport problem under certain conditions.
Competences to be evaluated: all transversal competences. To evaluate the practices, it will be necessary to assist them and do the tasks assigned.
The evaluation system is based on the completion of a written test on the official dates established by the center, with practical and theoretical contents, at the end of the subject. This test will represent 70% of the final grade and a minimum of 3.5 points out of 10 is required in order to pass the subject.
Extraordinary call
- Same criteria as in ordinary call
Students who have a waiver of class attendance under the conditions indicated in Order 1/2017 of the General Secretariat of the USC, to approve the subject must present and pass the exam on the official dates. This does not prevent them from performing other continuous assessment tasks

IN THE SITUATION FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE
Expository and interactive blackboard teaching: For not exceeding the capacity in the classroom allowed by the rules in
the USC, the expository classes of theory and blackboard may be face-to-face, as long as the situation and the measures
are maintained rules imposed by the authorities.
Interactive laboratory teaching: Maintaining the safety distance of 1.5 m is
essential; mainly in wet laboratories. Therefore, if necessary, they must be
split the practice groups, to follow this basic rule. In case the split is already effective
in the subjects of the first semester (and some of the second) it was not enough to adjust to the capacity
reduced from the laboratory, a reduction in classroom practices should be applied (transforming
some on blackboard), in order to apply an expansion of the number of groups (with the consequent reduction
of the number of students by groups).
Exam: Like expository teaching, due to not exceeding the capacity of the classrooms, exams may
be face-to-face.
General rule: The use of a mask AND the maintenance of the safety distance will be mandatory in
either case.
IN FORECAST OF A CHANGE OF SITUATION
In the event of a change in the situation and in the regulations imposed by the authorities,
all theory classes (expository) and blackboard will be taught, by electronic means, Skipe, Teams,
or similar, to allow the student to attend teaching from home, having verified
previously that all of them have sufficient bandwidth.
Regarding the teaching of laboratory practices, as far as possible they will also become
blackboard classes, through exercises, videos or similar material, which will be shared through the
folder in the Matter cloud or, in case of exceeding the capacity, by means such as WeTransfer.com or
alike.
Only in those cases in which laboratory practices are essential and transcendental [as is
the case of cultivated materials], we will wait to see the evolution of events and, only if the Authority
Competently lift quarantine on time, they would be taught and qualified. Otherwise, no
being able to teach them, the evaluation of the subject should be done only with the teaching taught until the
official closing of the course, using telematic means also for the exam, which obviously cannot be
face-to-face.
However, voluntarily for both teachers and students, laboratory practices could
be recovered, after the end of the course, although without the possibility of evaluation, on the date and
conditions of mutual agreement. The latter, provided that the universities ensure the extension of the insurance
school and civil liability of their students.
