Features: This textbook is written for experimental courses in Hydraulics and Engineering Fluid Mechanics, comprising a total of 26 chapters. Chapters 1, 3-15, and 19 cover basic hydraulics experiments. Chapter 2 is a demonstration experiment of flow phenomena, capable of demonstrating over 30 types of flow phenomena. Chapters 16-18, 20, and 21 focus on experiments on flow pulsation pressure, flow aeration concentration, pipeline water hammer, surge chamber water level fluctuations, flow boundary layers, and turbulent jets. Chapters 22-24 present three design experiments: experiments on flow phenomena in different pipeline configurations, energy dissipation in stilling pools, and jet impact on downstream riverbeds. Chapter 25 covers instruments and equipment for flow parameter measurements, including water level, velocity, pressure, and flow rate measurements. Chapter 26 discusses experimental error analysis. The appendix provides a table of common hydraulics data. The book includes a total of 53 experiments. In addition to the flow phenomenon demonstration experiment, each experiment project includes objectives, principles, instruments and equipment, methods and procedures, data processing and result analysis, key considerations, and discussion questions. The book incorporates the latest research findings in boundary layer theory applications and adds design experiments. It is suitable for students and faculty in universities and colleges majoring in water conservancy, hydropower, civil engineering, environmental science, thermal energy and power, port engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemical engineering. It can also serve as a reference for teachers, students, and technical personnel in secondary vocational schools and related fields.
