Goals

The objective of this course is to bring the students to a sufficient autonomy level in Fluid Mechanics (knowledge of the vocabulary, mastery of the basic concepts, general overview…) so that they are not afraid to open a bachelor’s degree level Fluid Mechanics book in order to progress further by themselves on more complex topics. A large part of the course is organised as 4 to 5 students group work in a project mode.

Programme

The thematics addressed are: The fluid particle and elements of kinematics Formulation, modelling and stress tensor Turbulence Fluid Statics Numerical simulation: Fluent, airfoil The concept of head, and duct networks Dimensional analysis These aspects are supported by laboratory sessions TP1: Measurements with hot-wire anemometry TP2: Drag and Lift of an airfoil TP3: Head loss coefficient for major and minor head loss TP4: Study of a non-dimensional law (weir, soliton, drag on a sphere) Work on Fluent (steady incompressible RANS simulations)
