Sens technique
Science that studies the physical behaviour of a fluid consisting of water and the materials it contains. This is an application of hydrodynamics to streams; it is a branch of fluid mechanics. It helps to understand the stream evolutionary process: action of the fluid on bed materials, flow characteristics, dissipation of the stream energy when transporting these materials.
