ME 681 - Fluid Mechanics

3 Credit(s)

The basic equations of fluid mechanics are derived, and a variety of problems of importance in engineering practice are discussed. Topics include pipe and open channel flows, pipe networks, internal flows in pumps and turbines, external flows including low speed aerodynamics and drag reduction. Correct formulation of fluid flow problems for numerical solution, and the choice of effective computational methods for particular applications are stressed.
Prerequisite(s): undergraduate fluid mechanics.
