Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Dr. H. R. Graze
Prerequisite: 421-230 Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer (or equivalent)
Contact: 22 hours of lectures, 11 hours of practical classes, 6 hours of laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this subject, students will have acquired a sound understanding of the engineering science of fluid mechanics as applied to civil and environmental engineering situations. They will have developed skills in conceptualising different flow situations and choosing the appropriate flow analysis approach. They should be able to solve a wide range of problems involving fluid flow.
Content:
Flow analysis via: differential equations for inviscid and viscous flow (including Bernoulli, Euler and general viscous flow equations); finite control volume approach (including the conservation equations of mass, energy and momentum); dynamic similitude, dimensional groups (such as Reynolds number), physical scale modelling. Structure of turbulence; boundary layer flows, including lift and drag. Flow in closed conduits (including Reynolds number regimes, flow resistance equations, Moody diagram).
Assessment:
One three-hour written examination (85%); Assignments totalling up to 3,000 words relating to course work and laboratory classes
