Master in General Hydraulics

The General Hydraulics master's programme is offered at Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Lisbon. This course provides students with knowledge in dimensional analysis, hydrostatics, and pressure flows. It covers pump and turbine characteristics and selection. Students learn about flows through orifices, weirs, and free-surface flows.

Upon completion, students will have expertise in calculating hydrostatic forces on various surfaces. They will understand hydro-kinematics and hydrodynamics, including pressures, velocities, forces, and energy balances. The programme also covers hydraulic calculations for steady flows in pressure conduits and basic concepts of unsteady flows like water hammer.

Students will gain comprehension of pump and turbine operation and selection. They will be able to determine flow capacity for orifices and weirs. The programme also teaches students to compute free-surface profiles in steady flows within open channels. The campus is located at Campus de Campolide, 1099-085 Lisboa.

Universidade Nova de Lisboa, also known as NOVA, is located in Portugal. It is a public university. NOVA offers a Pre-University Programme called SUPERNOVA. This programme is designed for international students. It helps them prepare for higher education in Europe. The programme provides academic skills for bachelor's degrees. It also offers access to NOVA or its partner universities.
