FLUID MECHANICS FUNDAMENTALS

Learning Outcome

After the successful participation in the course Fluid Mechanics Fundamentals the students are able to:

  • measure the pressure and the velocity
  • calculate hydrostatic strength
  • determine the velocity profiles (in a pipe and inside the boundary layer) and determine the friction forces

Content

  • Fluid specifications, dimensions and units
  • the basic law of the hydrostatic
  • the applications (pressure variation, measuring pressure, hydrostatic force on a surface)
  • fluid kinematics; dynamics of perfect incompressible fluids (Bernoulli equation, applications e.g. speed measurement)
  • Euler theorem
  • dynamic of real incompressible fluids (Couette experience, laminar viscous flow, Poiseuille flow)
  • concept of loss and singular linear load
  • boundary layer (concept of the boundary layer, local and global equations of the boundary layer, characteristics of the boundary layer, accurate and approximate solutions of the boundary layer)
  • similitude and dimensional analysis; dynamics of elastic fluids (unidirectional flow)
  • shockwave
