Fluid Mechanics
Fluid statics, manometry, the Bernoulli equation, control volumes, Navier-Stokes equations, dimensional analysis, and viscous pipe flow.
This course examines both ideal and real fluids. It covers topics including fluid statics, pressure at a point, hydrostatic forces, and manometry. Fluid dynamics are discussed, and the Bernoulli Equation is developed. Fluid kinematics are presented along with the justification for the material derivative. As more complex fluid processes are examined, finite control volumes and differential analyses are presented. Ideal flow concepts of velocity potentials and stream functions are introduced. The Navier-Stokes equations are developed for viscous flows and applied to simple problems. Other topics include fluid properties, dimensional analysis and modeling, and viscous flow in pipes.
