Engineering degree Program in China - Hydraulics and River Dynamics

1. Introduction

Hydraulics and River Dynamics is the engineering discipline that studies the necessary knowledge system of mechanics of the motion law of water flow in the natural and river development and utilization, belonging to the water conservancy project, involving the basic mechanical principle and special technology about water of various kinds of water conservancy engineering planning, design, construction and management, which is built and gradually develops on the development of the basic disciplines and water conservancy practice. With the development of computer and modern science and technology, it has developed into a modern research subject with application basics that comprehensively applies various scientific and technological theories, widely develops all kinds of mathematical models, using a large number of modern techniques. It combines with the basic theoretical disciplines such as mathematics, mechanics, and water conservancy and hydropower, harbor shipping and other engineering disciplines, and has a wide application in economic construction.
