To acquire knowledge on the Fluid Mechanics domain and in the evaluation of pressure hydraulic circuits needed for civil engineering applications, namely:

1. to identify the major properties of fluids;
2. to compute the resultant of hydrostatic pressure distributions in plane and in curved surfaces;
3. to classify the flows according to the space and time variation of their properties;
4. to establish, interpret and apply similitude laws between prototype and scale models;
5. to compute major head losses in uniform flows in pipes, as well as the minor losses in hydraulic circuits;
6. to determine the pressure and mean velocity in steady flow in pipes and the flow induced forces at the flow boundaries.
