MTH7123 : Advanced Fluid Dynamics

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

This course is a survey of principal concepts and methods of advanced fluid dynamics, and emphasizes fundamental concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics to be covered include fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, control volume analysis, dimensional analysis, internal flows (pipe flows), differential analysis (including approximations such as creeping flow, potential flow, and boundary layers), and external flows (lift and drag); use of differential and finite control volume analysis with continuity, momentum, and energy equations, You will acquire an understanding of the essential theoretical basis of the fluid mechanic sciences and their application to a range of problems of relevance to practical engineering.

Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate their understanding of the basic principles of static and fluid systems.
  • Explain the fundamental properties of fluids, including viscosity, Newtonian and Non-Newtonian rheology, and viscoelasticity.
  • Grasp the basic ideas of turbulence and knowledge of laminar and turbulent boundary layer fundamentals.
  • Understand the dynamics of fluid flows and the governing non-dimensional parameters.
  • State the conservation principles of mass, linear momentum, and energy for fluid flow
