This course is an introduction to fluid mechanics and emphasizes fundamental concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics to be covered include fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, control volume analysis, dimensional analysis, internal flows (pipe flows), differential analysis (including approximations such as creeping flow, potential flow, and boundary layers), and external flows (lift and drag). Students are also expected to be proficient in applying mathematics (e.g., integration, differentiation, and application of differential equations), statics and dynamics (e.g., free body diagrams), and thermodynamics (e.g., the first law, systems, and control volumes).
