Prerequisites
ThermodynamicsIntended learning outcomes
The course aims at creating a fundamental understanding of fluid mechanics. A comprehensive treatment of the fundamental equations is followed by application to different types of flows. In particular laminar and turbulent flow for internal and external flow situations, respectively. The course also includes an introduction to numerical methods as well as introduction to turbulence modelling.
After the course the student should be able to apply the governing equations on classical flow cases (eg Couette flow). The student should be able to solve a variety of flow cases using appropriate numerical methods as well as having a fundamental understanding about the properties of these governing equations
Course content
Historical perspective, fundamental equaions (continuity, Euler´s equations, Navier-Stokes´ equations, boundary layer equations, etc), laminar and turbulent flow, external and internal flows, compressible flow and non-stationary flow, introduction to numerical methods in fluid mechanics and an introduction to modelling of turbulence
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, tutorials, laboratory work and assignme
