Stability of a Dam:
1. Against Overturning
2. Against Sliding
In the case of pervious foundation, water percolates underside of the dam and saturates
the foundation causing a buoyant effect on the base. The distribution of pressure due to this uplift
force is not completely known, as there are many factors to consider. So assumptions are usually
made, and the worst condition that may occur is where the pressure is distributed linearly from a
full hydrostatic force at the heel to a full hydrostatic force at the toe.

continually cross each other forming a complex network of intersecting pathlines.

5. Uniform Flow: the flow is said to be uniform if at a given instant the velocity remains
constant with respect to distance along a streamline.

Forms of Energy:
1. Kinetic Energy: the ability of a mass to do work by virtue of its velocity. The kinetic
energy of a unit weight of a liquid mass is called the velocity head.
Velocity Head = V2 / 2g
2. Pressure Energy: is the energy due to pressure to which the stream is being subjected.
It is measured by pressure head.
Pressure Head = p /

FLUID FLOW IN PIPES
Pipes are closed conduit through which liquid or gasses flow. In hydraulics, pipes are commonly
called as conduits of circular cross-section, which flow full. Conduits flowing partially full are
considered open channel.
Reynold’s Number
Recent research in flow analysis has shown that fluid is dependent upon many factors
such as the force of gravity, viscosity, surface tension and elasticity. A criterion of the relative
effect of gravitational and viscous forces on fluid is known as the Reynold’s Number which is
given by
R e = VD / = VD / g
or: R e = VD /
where :
D = pipe internal diameter (m)
V = mean velocity (m/sec)
= mass density (kg/m3)
= dynamic viscosity ( Pa-sec)
= Kinematic viscosity (m2/sec)
= specific weight of fluid
g = pull of gravity
For values of Re less than 2000 flow is certain to be laminar. Between 2000 and 3000 the
flow is unstable and may be either laminar or turbulent or may alternate from one to the other.
Above 3000 the flow is predominantly turbulent.
1. Major Loss , hf : This is a continuous loss due to friction between the pipe wall and the
fluid.
a. Laminar Flow: (Re < 2000)
2. Minor Losses, H: These are losses due to local disturbances affecting the velocity and
flow direction.

A critical depth is the depth of flow for which a maximum discharge is attained. It
can be expressed in the following equation.
a. in terms of discharge, q: dc =
A hydraulic jump is an abrupt rise in water surface, which results from retarding water
flowing at lower stage. The change is from a depth less than the critical depth to one greater than
the critical. However, due to the loss of head in the jump, the total energy after the jump is less
than the alternate stage before the jump.
