Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
Goals
These laboratory classes accompany the theoretical course on Fluid Mechanics and provide physical examples of the flows and phenomena studied in the course. Through these experiments, and the associated reports, students will also learn about experimental design and methods, data analysis and writing scientific reports.
Programme
-
Experimental design How to plan and conduct an experiment, parameter selection, experimental protocol, data acquisition
-
Measurement techniques in fluid mechanics Instruments and techniques, advantages and disadvantages
-
Data analysis and reporting Statistical analysis of experimental data, writing a scientific report
-
Laboratory experiments A selection of 7 different fluid mechanics experiments from a wide range of experiments, covering all areas of fluid mechanics.
Sustainable development
DD&RS level 1
Activity contextualised through environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility and/or supported by examples, exercises, applications.
Assessment method
Laboratory reports
