CHEME 4240
Advanced Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer
Topics include derivation of conservation equations; conductive and convective heat transfer; low Reynolds number fluid dynamics; lubrication theory; inviscid fluid dynamics; boundary layer theory; non-Newtonian fluid mechanics (polymeric liquids and suspensions); surface tension; and stability analysis, and turbulent flow.
Topics
- Describe the assumptions that underlie Newtonian fluid mechanics, identify examples of fluids that violate these assumption, and analyze quantitative measurements that reveal such non-Newtonian behavior.
- Analyze transport problems using regular perturbation methods, boundary layer theory, and similarity scaling analysis.
- Solve viscous dominated fluid flow problems using multipole methods and lubrication analysis.
