FLUID MECHANICS

Catalog description

Fundamental concepts of fluid flow and fluid statics. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, conservation equations in integral and differential form, incompressible inviscid and viscous flow, external and internal flow, dimensional analysis, and fluid machinery in 1D steady state flow is examined. The laboratory explores fluid properties with experiments aimed to validate the theory of fluid phenomena. Prerequisites: PHYS 222, MATH 251, MECH 100.
