Foundations of Fluid Mechanics. 3 credits

Catalog description

Derivation of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics, including the Navier-Stokes equations, conservation of mass, and the vorticity transport equations. Vector and Cartesian tensor notation are used throughout. Equations of motion are applied to incompressible viscous and inviscid flows. Some aspects of turbulence are discussed.
