Key words Fluidomechanics Objectives To describe fundamental principles and laws of fluids at rest and in motion. Provide basic understanding of fluid behavior for later engineering design. Prerequisites Basic integral and differential calculus. Vector operations. Principles of force and moment equilibrium. Velocity and acceleration. Newtons law of motion. Basic laws of thermodynamics. Topics Fluid statics : Introduction : concepts and properties of fluids. Definition of pressure, measurement and calculation. Forces of fluid at rest on plane and curved surfaces. Linear acceleration and rotational motion. Forces on floating bodies. Equilibrium of a floating body. Exercises. Fluid dynamics : Fluids in motion. Euler and Bernouilli equations. Energy equations. Forces due to change in fluid motion. Real fluid description. Dynamic and kinematic viscosity. Laminar and turbulent flow. Boundary layer. Flow of viscous fluids in pipes. Pressure and velocity distribution in pipes. Resistance and friction. Methods for computing pressure losses in pipes and channels. Shear forces. Series and parallel piping systems. Study of open channel flow. Exercises Teaching Methods Lectures, exercises, individual reports, home study Materials used Teacher's course, school library, materials Study guidance Assessment Written examination, written tests Study costs Lecturer(s) Christian VANDENPLAS Language Dutch
