- Physical properties of water
- Hydrostatics: forces in liquids at rest, arising from external influences
- Hydromechanics: movement of fluids under the influence of external and inertial forces; basic laws of fluid mechanics (conservation of mass, conservation of energy, conservation of momentum); pipe flow; open channel flow; physical modelling (overview); geohydraulics (introduction, evaluation of pumping tests).
