Fluid mechanics I : incompressible + TP
Summary
Introduction to fluid mechanics, combining fundamental principles with their application to canonical flow problems.
Content
Fluid properties and characteristic quantities of incompressible flows; fluid statics; fluid kinematics, trajectories, and streamlines; Bernoulli's equation; mass transport, diffusion, and the diffusion equation; Reynolds transport theorem; conservation of mass, momentum, and energy in integral and differential form; viscous stresses and the Newtonian constitutive law; Navier-Stokes equations; analytical solutions for canonical viscous and inviscid flows, including potential flows; dimensional analysis and similarity; flow around immersed bodies, including lift and drag; introduction to boundary-layer concepts.
Throughout the course, governing equations are derived, interpreted, and simplified under clearly stated assumptions, and applied to canonical flow problems to develop physical intuition and a systematic approach to fluid mechanics.
