Course Objectives This graduate course is a survey of advanced concepts of fluid mechanics, beyond the level taught in a first course at the undergraduate level.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • After a successful completion of this course the students will be able to: 1. Derive and interpret the fluid mechanics equations in various forms [PO1, PO2]. 2. Express and interpret the fluid mechanics equations in expanded and various compact vectorial and indicial forms [PO1, PO2]. 3. Solve and interpret the various forms of the fluid mechanics equations analytically and numerically [PO1, PO2]. 4. Develop and code basic numerical and CFD algorithms [PO4].
Course Content This course is a survey of principal concepts and methods of fluid dynamics. Topics include mass conservation, momentum, and energy, equations for continua; Navier-Stokes equation for viscous flows; similarity and dimensional analysis; lubrication theory; boundary layers and separation; circulation and vorticity theorems; potential flow
