The course provides the basic of fluid dynamics out of the four major dynamics in mechanical engineering. The enrolled students
learn the overview and features of fluid, fundamentals of fluid statics and fluid dynamics. In addition, the students learn
dimensional analysis required in fluid mechanics and basics of similarity.
As a fundamental subject of fluid mechanics for the students at the mechanical engineering courses for fluid mechanics, the
course aims at providing the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and at making the students understood the special subjects in
each course. In particular, the students aim at studying and applying the overview of fluid as a continuum matter, basic features
of viscous fluids, classification of fluid flows, fluid statics, fluid dyhamics incluiding the three fundamental conservation
laws, dimensional analysis, and similarity laws.
- To understand and be able to explain the overview of fluid as continuum matter
- To understand the classification and features of viscous fluids and be able to solve relevant basic problems
- To understand fluid statics including pressure, buoyancy and relative equilibrium, and be able to solve relevant basic problems
- To understand the derivation and meanings of the one-dimensional conservation laws of fluid flows (continuity equation, Euler’s equation and Bernoulli’s theorem) and be able to solve relevant basic problems
- To understand the dimensional analysis and similarity laws and be able to derive non-dimensional parameters

when the score is equal or over 60% out of 100 % in total. Successful credit acquisition requires the following all the conditions
to be satisfied. The student is capable of 1 understanding and explaining the overview of fluid as continuum matter, 2 understanding
the classification and features of viscous fluids and solving the relevant basic problems, 3 understanding fluid statics including
pressure, buoyancy and relative equilibrium, and solving the relevant basic fproblems, 4 understanding the derivation and
meanings of the one-dimensional conservation laws of fluid flows (continuity equation, Euler’s equation and Bernoulli’s theorem)
and solving the relevant basic problems, 5 understanding the dimensional analysis and similarity laws and deriving non-dimensional
parameters.
