Objectives and Outcomes

Course Objectives:

The main objective of the course is to provide knowledge to the students about the details of fluid kinematics, and differential and integral formulation of fluid motion: Navier Stokes Equations. Potential Flows, Effect of pressure gradient on boundary layer, flow separation, and the basics of flow instability and turbulence.

Course Outcomes

At the end of the course the student should be able to

  • Understand the fluid kinematics and formulate using tensor calculus.
  • Formulate and solve differential equations of motions including Navier Stokes Equations to solve problems in fluid mechanics.
  • Formulate the potential flow to solve fluid mechanics problem.
  • Understand the effect of pressure gradient on boundary layer, flow separation, and the basics of flow instability and turbulence.
