Incompressible Fluid Dynamics

Catalog description

This course presents topics in incompressible fluid dynamics at the introductory graduate level. Topics are chosen from: continuum fluids; kinematics and deformation for Newtonian fluids; integral and differential form of the mass conservation, momentum, and energy equations; potential flows; unidirectional steady incompressible viscous flows; unidirectional transient incompressible viscous flows; boundary layers; vortical flows. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have taken AE/ME 5101 “Fluid Dynamics” or AE/ME 5107 “Applied Fluid Dynamics.”
