Course description and aims

This course focuses on fluid motion, theories of which need to be extended from the mathematical expressions founded on solid-state physics. Through this series of lectures and exercises, students will learn the most fundamental and important mathematical or experimental expressions in the field of fluid dynamics, including equations of motion for fluids and their derivations, definitions of laminar and turbulent flows, and practical formulas for pipelines or open channels. The present course is comprised of 3 parts in order to effectively include all the essences in a single course of lectures. It begins with Part 1 (the 1st to 6th class) which teaches theories of perfect fluids, followed by Part 2 (7th to 11th) covering theories for viscous fluid and Part 3 (12th to 15th) dealing with practical fluid problems and their solution using the formulas derived.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to understand:
1) Dynamics, force and energy of fluids and their expressions in physics
2) Distinctive properties of fluids such as compressivity and viscosity
3) Regimes in fluids, laminar and turbulent flows, and their theories and experimental expressions
4) Fluid motions in pipe or open channels and their theories and experimental expressions

Keywords

perfect fluid, viscous fluid, laminar flow, turbulent flow, equation of continuity, Euler equations of motion, Navier-Stokes equations, Bernoulli's principle, pipe flow

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems to solve related to the lecture given that day. To prepare for classes, students should read the course schedule section and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
