This course contains the sedimentation problem, properties of water and sediment, particle fall speed, initial movement of sediment particle, transport mechanism and base configuration, base sediment transport (bed load), suspension sediment transport (suspended load), riverbed degradation and aggradation, stable channel design, debris flow, sediment transport in estuary, dam sedimentation.

1. Fluid Mechanics (Semester II)
2. Open Channel Hydraulics (Semester IV)

The students are expected to be able to understand the hydraulics of sediment transport and its application in technical design of civil engineering structure.

(a) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering in civil engineering fields

(b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to have data analysis and interpretation
