Fall 2025 Lecture Distance Learning Upper Division
Continuum description, velocity field, fluid statics, manometers, basic conservation laws for systems and control volumes, dimensional analysis. Bernoulli's equation along a streamline and with head losses. Flow over submerged bodies, boundary layers. Viscous flows in pipes, turbomachinery, system performance. One-dimensional gas dynamics.
Learning Outcomes1Develop the ability to identify and classify the various types of flows one may encounter.
2Develop (from rigorous first principles) the control volume formulation of the basic laws with emphasis on conservation of mass and Newton's 2nd law.
3Apply the control volume formulation of the basic laws to model physical systems.
