Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Dr. M. S. Chong
Prerequisite: Level 1 Mathematics
Contact: 26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorials and laboratory
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
Students should develop a fundamental understanding of the basic principles of fluid statics and fluid dynamics; gain experience in practical methodologies, based on the application of fundamental principles of fluid mechanics, for solution of engineering flow problems. On completion, students should be able to:
- carry out force and stability analysis in fluid statics
- apply control volume analysis to continuity, energy and momentum balances
- carry out dimensional analysis
- appreciate and understand fluid resistance, drag and lift
Content:
Fluid statics, static forces on submerged structures, stability of floating bodies; fluid dynamics; streamlines; pathlines and streaklines; conservation of mass, momentum and energy; Euler's equation and Bernoulli's equation; control volume analysis; dimensional analysis; incompressible flow in pipes and ducts; boundary layers; flow around immersed bodies; drag and lift.
Assessment:
A three-hour examination; tutorial, tests and assignments and laboratory reports not exceeding 20 pages.
