About

About the course

Course content

Fluid properties, viscosity. Velocity field, substantial derivative, streamlines and pathlines. Pressure distribution in stationary and accelerated systems. Rotating container. Manometry. Bouyancy. Reynolds transport theorem. Continuity equation, momentum equation and angular momentum equation for control volumes. Energy equation and Bernoulli equation. Euler's equation for inviscid flow and Navier-Stokes equation for viscous flow. Boundary conditions for the basic equations of fluid mechanics. Stream function, vorticity and rotation, viscous stresses and strain rates. Reynolds number. Qualitative issues on turbulence. Laminar and turbulent pipe flow. Boundary layer concept. Two-dimensional potential theory, velocity potential, some elementary flows, circulation.

Learning outcome

Provide the basic elements of the theoretical foundations for ideal and real fluid flows. Through problem sessions provide sufficient training to enable the students to formulate and solve practical flow problems.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, example exercises, practice exercises, laboratory exercises and self-study. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
