Course Description

Ideal fluid flow including potential flow theory. Computer solutions in ideal fluid flow. Viscous flow and boundary layer theory. Introduction to turbulence.

Topics

  • A
  • B
  • C

Learning Outcomes

The student, upon completion of this course, will be able to:

  • Develop the fundamental flow equations (conservation of mass and momentum) and basic solution techniques for incompressible inviscid flow.
  • Analyze ideal flows using generalized flow elements such as sources, sinks and free vortices based on distributed singularities.
  • Formulated and obtain, based on the Navier-Stokes equations, analytical solutions of pipe flow, annular flow and accelerating flow.
  • Use boundary layer analysis to evaluate skin friction for both laminar and turbulent flows
