| Course contents : | This course studies the notions of the elements of fluid mechanics course in depth, by applying them to applications in construction. It first takes a detailed look at the analysis and calculation of stationary and transitory flows in a network under pressure, divided and interconnected.
Within the framework of elements of fluid mechanics applied to constructions, aerodynamics lead to the analysis of the stress of structures subjected to wind. The calculation methods and standards in force are explained for all types of structure.
An extension of the energy conservation theory in conditions of continuous flow results in the theory of orifices and nozzles.
The theory of flows in a saturated porous environment in a laminar system, with or without a free surface, is deduced from the basic principles of fluid mechanics and applied in practical work. |
|
| Course objective : | Complementary course on fluid mechanics. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Elements of Fluid Mechanics course. |
|
| Workshops : | Practice |
|
| Organization : | The course is based on a theoretical course, exercises and practical work sessions.
* The theoretical course is ex-cathedra. The classes are taught in French. Questions are asked after class and during breaks.
* Students are required to actively participate during the exercise sessions. These sessions, in French, are aimed at problem-solving.
* The practical work (in French) consists of solving concrete problems linked to various aspects in the course. Several exercises are solved in groups. Some use the programming notions learnt in the corresponding classes. Students are asked to compile written reports.
All the sessions take place at the Sart Tilman campus. |
