Overview

This unit builds on Fluid Mechanics 1 and is a more advanced subject. This subject will give an in-depth coverage of the conservation laws in integral and differential forms (Navier-Stokes equations). Topics may include conservation of momentum, dimensional analysis, similarity and modelling with applications to full scale engineering devices, losses in pipe networks, lift and drag. Various flows are investigated in more detail including external boundary layers. Students will support their learning of these fluid mechanics concepts through experimental investigations and practical demonstrations.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. Adapt fundamental fluid mechanics and scientific skills to solve typical engineering problems;
  2. Analyse fluid mechanics problems using conservation laws, boundary layer theory or dimensional analysis and develop solutions;
  3. Collaborate to undertake experimental investigations and to apply knowledge and skills in diverse contexts; and
  4. Present a clear and coherent exposition of knowledge and ideas to a variety of audiences.
