Canaux and Galleries: Hydraulic Installations and Translational Waves

This lecture covers topics related to hydraulic constructions, including curved canals, transverse speed distribution, elevation of water bodies, and hydraulic models. It also discusses the concept of translational waves, wave speed, and the critical flow in open channels. The instructor presents examples of hydraulic installations, physical models, and the impact of intumescences on wave propagation. Additionally, the lecture explores the consequences of bedload analysis on project design, ecological considerations, and the effects of paving layers on flow conditions.
