Fall 2025 Instructors:

Differential (microscopic) and integral (macroscopic) mass, momentum, and energy balances. Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Fluid statics. One-dimensional steady and transient laminar flows. Turbulence. Dimensional analysis and similarity. Friction factors and drag coefficients. Applications to engineering analysis of practical problems. Introduction to numerical analysis and visualization of flows.

Learning Outcomes

1Explain the physical properties of a fluid and the consequences of such properties on fluid flow.

2Apply momentum and/or force balances to the analysis of problems in hydrostatics.

3Apply mass, momentum and energy balances for the solution of problems involving inviscid, steady flow.

4Use appropriate macroscopic and microscopic mass, momentum, and energy balances to analyze steady laminar and turbulent flow of incompressible fluids in conduits and past submerged bodies.

5Apply dimensional analysis and kinematic similarity for the interpretation of experimental fluid flow data and the design of fluid transfer equipment.

6Utilize appropriate mass, momentum and energy balances for the design of fluid transfer equipment (pipelines, agitated vessels, pumps, etc.) and to analyze its operation.

7Work professionally and ethically in teams to conduct fluid mechanics-based laboratory experiments.

8Effectively report results in written form and practice safety as an integral part of laboratory work.
