Advanced Fluid Mechanics
Goals
The course presents the fundamental concepts and tools for studying and modeling fluid mechanics. The core of the course is the derivation of the fundamental laws regulating the dynamics and energetics of fluid systems and their application to classical engineering problems. These includes the analysis of flow within a pipe or around a bluff body, the determination of the force exerted by a fluid on a solid object, the energy transfer by forced and natural convection, the transport of pollutant within a turbulent flow.
