Course Description
- The material in this course will provide the student with a
fundamental background in the statics and dynamics of fluids. The basic
conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy are analyzed in control
volume and differential form. The student will learn how to choose the
right formulation, integral vs differential, for fluid flow problems.
The student will also learn how to work with different frames of
reference and use them to simplify problems. Real life applications of
these fundamental concepts will be introduced, with an emphasis on
critical analysis of the limitations of hte model used in solving the
problem. Interpretation of results from experiments and
numerical simulation of fluid flows will also be emphasized.
