Students are intended to become familiar with: · Basic concepts of Fluid Mechanics · Statics for incompressible fluids · Equations of incompressible fluid dynamics: equation of continuity (differential and integral form) and equations of energy and momentum (integral form) · Equations of incompressible ideal fluids (Euler and Bernoulli equations). · Vorticity and potential flow · Dimensional Analysis and Hydraulic Similitude · Elements of Boundary Layer flow
Students are expected to develop the following skills: · Ability to determine the pressure distribution in static fluids and to calculate forces on surfaces in contact with static fluids. · Analyze fluid flow using control volume methods · Ability to use elementary potential flow solutions · Ability to use dimensional analysis and hydraulic similitude. |
