About department
Department of Hydraulics operates as an independent unit since 1969. From the Department of settlements, there were many experienced and well-known scientists in the country, and hydraulic engineering specialists, such as Doc. K. Baškys, Doc. J. Duoba, Doc. V. Marčėnas, Doc. Dr. R. Alekna, D. Jankauskienė, J. Kunigėlis and others. Longtime department employee Doc. K. Baškys with Water Doc. V. Šulga prepared a very valuable English - Lithuanian hydro-technical glossary, which is 2000 published by Technical Publishing House.
Hydraulic head of the department were:
doc. dr. K. Baškys (1969 – 1980 and 1989 – 1993),
doc. dr. M. Gedgaudas (1980 – 1987 ),
doc. dr. K. Blažys (1987 – 1989),
doc. dr. R. Alekna (1993 – 2000),
prof. dr. A. Lukianas (2000 – 2009)
prof. dr. V. Šaulys since 2009 m.
Currently, the Department of Hydraulics - teaching and research work carried out by 9 people: professors - V. Šaulys, A. Česnulevičius, docents - R. Pekus, L. Bagdžiūnaitė-Litvinaitienė, O. Barvidienė, R. Stankevičienė, A. Litvinaitis, Lectors, G. Sabas and M. Stankevičius, asistant M. Staškūnienė. Department staff - professors V. Šaulys, A. Česnulevičius, docents L. Bagdžiūnaitė-Litvinaitienė, O. Barvidienė, R. Stankevičienė and A. Litvinaitis scientific articles were published in foreign journals, and the professor. A. Česnulevičius of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) Theoretical cartography member of the commission since 2003.
Research work carried out in line with the basic pedagogical work. Hydraulic Department employees participate in one of 10 priority research directions of the University - "Experimental and theoretical studies of environmental systems and environmental technologies", published scientific articles, reports to participate in scientific conferences.
Students and professor A. Lukianas familiar with the role of water engineering works and construction
Dr. A. Lukianas organized a trip to the most interesting benefit of our country's water facilities for groups of students, who studies the Engineering Hydrology and Hydraulics ( KGF-10/1, KGF-10/2, AATf-10/1 and AATf-10/2 groups). They are the students to become better acquainted with the uses of water engineering works and construction of various buildings impact on the natural environment, hydropower development. Students visited small hydroelectric plant of Pastrėvys, Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant and Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant in 2012. September 13. and 19 d.
