Fluid Mechanics

Topics

• Demonstrate the ability to explain the physical mechanisms governing fluid behavior in a variety of materials and settings.
• Solution of the equations of motion: solution of the microscopic balance equations for hydrostatics, unidirectional flows, boundary layer flows, and other simple flow situations.
• Solving engineering fluid dynamics applications involving macroscopic mass and momentum balances, and Bernoulli's equations. Use of macroscopic balances together with unidirectional flow analysis.
• Understanding the role of nonlinearity, instability, and turbulence in fluid dynamics.
