Purpose and Content

The aim of the course To introduce fluid mechanics, and to teach fundamental concepts and problem-solving techniques.
Course Content Topics to be covered include fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, conservation laws, control volume analysis, dimensional analysis, internal flows (pipe flows), differential analysis (including approximations such as creeping flow, potential flow, and boundary layers), and external flows (lift and drag). If time permits, brief introductions to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbomachinery (pumps and turbines) will be provided.
