Fluid Mechanics

Enrollment Requirements: Undergraduate Prerequisite: CASMA 226 and ENGEK 301; or LEAP Program students Properties of fluids. Fluid statics. Dimensional analysis. Control volume approach to conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, leading to the Bernoulli equation. Differential analysis approach to conservation of mass and momentum, leading to potential flow and the Navier-Stokes equations. Applications to pipe flow, boundary layers analysis, and methods for estimating drag, and lift forces. Includes labs.
