Description
Review of fluid properties and fluid kinematics. Continuity equation and governing equations for viscous flows, including the Navier–Stokes and energy equations, with selected exact solutions. Analysis of highly viscous flows and high–Reynolds-number flows, including laminar boundary-layer theory. Introduction to potential flows: velocity potential, Euler and Bernoulli equations, and classical plane-flow solutions with applications to airfoils and free-streamline flows. Axisymmetric flows and the Stokes stream function. Fundamentals of turbulence, including introduction to experimental, numerical and model techniques, turbulent boundary layers, and turbulent jets.
