Applied Fluid Mechanics

Catalog description

This course deals with general flow and with fluid flow in pipe systems. Topics covered in the area of general fluid flow include hydrostatics, laws of fluid motion, kinematics, dynamics, energy balance, and dimensionless groups. Topics covered in the area of pipe flow include incompressible flow, compressibility, pumps, viscosity, boundary layers, turbulence, and losses. The course includes appropriate laboratory experiments and computer applications.
