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).
