Contents	The main aim is to provide students with the basic analytical tools to analyse quantitatively flow processes. In such a context, as an example, the efflux process, the momentum equation and the fluid structure interaction will be analysed. Moreover, attention will be paid to Management of Water Resources and Hydraulic plans: after a brief introduction of the basic principles of water demand and water network design, new technologies and energy saving tools - applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design - will be described.

Educational objectives	The main aim of the course is to provide students with the basic analytical tools to analyse quantitatively flow processes. In such a context, the course will make students aware of the experimental methods in fluid mechanics - applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design -to conjugate the rational approach with the needs of a modern and functional design in which water flow plays a crucial role.
Prerequisites	According to the characteristics of the course, no prerequisite is required.
Teaching methods	The course is organized as follows: 1) lectures on all the topics of the course; 2) exercises about all the practical topics discussed during the course; 3) laboratory tets at the Water Engineering Laboratory of the Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile ed Ambientale
Other information	As additional teaching activity, students will execute tests at the Water Engineering Laboratory (WEL). Specifically, steady- and unsteady state tests will be carried out in pressurized pipes to analyze energy dissipation and pressure wave mechanisms. Moreover open channel flow tests will be considered in the laboratory channel.
Learning verification modality	The exam consists of an oral test.
Extended program	The course is divided into two parallel activities for didactic/organization needs. The aim of the first activity is to provide students with the basic notions of Fluid Mechanics and Water Management and Hydraulic Plants, with an approach that prefers experimental tools than analytical ones. The aim of the second activity is to analyze some devices (e.g., taps), facilities (e.g. fountains), and urban contexts (e.g. parks) widespread in professional practice. As an example, Fluid Mechanics topics will focus on the efflux processes, the local characteristics of the flow fields, and the fluid-structure interaction. After providing basic information on the characteristics of water demand and hydraulic networks, Water Resources Management will explore the technical potential of new design technologies for water and energy saving, applicable to the Interior Design, Exhibit Design, Retail Design or Product Design. To highlight the importance of a rigorous hydrodynamic approach, case studies will be carried out at the Water Engineering Laboratory.
