Course Objectives

To develop a graduate level understanding of the laws of fluid mechanics, with ability to utilize the various equations with respect to irrotational flows, viscous flows, turbulent flows, and one-dimensional compressible flows.

Catalog Description: 3 cr.

Algebra and analysis of Cartesian tensors. Descriptions of motion, kinematics. Conservation equations. Constitutive theory, Newton-Stokes fluids. Irrotational flow of an inviscid fluid. Dimensional analysis. Some exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Asymptotic flows: creeping flow, flow in the boundary layer. Introduction to turbulent flow. One dimensional compressible flow. 

Prerequisite:

Undergraduate fluid mechanics (i.e., MEEG 331 at University of Delaware).
