Course description
The course is compulsory for the second year students at the department of mechanical engineering. In this lecture, the students will learn the fundamentals of fluid mechanics. The lecture consists of basic properties of fluids, static and dynamical aspects of fluids. In addition, dimensional analysis will be taught with examples.
Purpose of class
1. To learn the basic knowledge on fluid properties (continuity, density, viscosity, and surface tension).
2. To learn the fundamentals of fluid statics (absolute/gauge pressure, manometers, Pascal’s law, pressure distribution, forces acting on a solid surface immersed in liquid, buoyancy, Archimedes' principle).
3. To learn the fundamentals of fluid dynamics (different types of flows (steady/unsteady, viscous/inviscid, laminar/turbulent), stream/path/streak lines), flowrate and hydrodynamic conservation laws (continuity equation, Euler’s equation of motion, Bernoulli’s theorem, Torricelli's law, Pitot/ Venturi tubes, momentum theorem).
4. To learn the dimensional analysis (basic/derived quantities, Buckingham’s pi-theorem, similarity parameters).
5. To learn the applications of the above concepts to fluid flow problems.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to explain about fluid including fluid definition, difference between fluid and solid, continuity and viscosity
  2. To be able to calculate static forces acting on a solid surface immersed in liquid based on hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy
  3. To be able to explain different types of fluid flows including steady/unsteady, compressible/incompressible, viscous/inviscid and laminar/turbulent flows.
  4. To understand the conservation laws of fluid (continuity equation, Euler’s equation and Bernoulli’s theorem)
  5. To be able to apply the conservation laws of fluid (continuity equation, Euler's equation of motion and Bernoulli's theorem)
  6. To be able to apply the momentum theorem to calculate the forces acting on flowing fluid and solid body in a fluid flow.
  7. To be able to find non-dimensional parameters by conducting dimensional analysis in a specific situation
