Aims
The overall intention is that the student should develop an understanding for hydro mechanical phenomena and the methods of analysis used in fluid dynamics.
Content
Properties and changes of state for fluids and gases, equilibrium of fluids (hydrostatics), conservation principles in kinematics (moving coordinate systems, the control volume concept, Eulerian and Lagrangian methods),
energy and continuity equations, stress-strain relations, differenatial analysis of fluid motion Euler and Bernoulli eqs.), similarity analysis, laminar and turbulent boundary layers, uniform and non-uniform flows in open and closed systems (flow in pipes).
Laboratory work:
1. Energy distribution and frictionlosses in closed conduits.
2. Sub- and supercritical flow in open surface flows.
Instruction
Lectures, lessons, laboratory works and study tours
Assessment
Written examination at the end of the course.Passed laboratory assignment.
