THERMO FLUIDS II: FLUID MECHANICS

Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to the field of fluid mechanics. Topics covered include properties of fluids, forces on submerged surfaces, stability of floating objects, ideal fluid flow, and momentum and energy methods. Concepts of similitude are introduced and fundamental scaling parameters in real fluids. Turbulence is introduced; pipe flow problems and lift/drag problems are solved. PREREQUISITE: Engineering 2610 and Math 2910 Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week
