| Course contents : | Table of contents
- physical concept of fluid
- cinematics
- dynamics
- laws of conservation
- fluid flows at low and high Re
- dimensional analysis
- instabilities |
|
| Course objective : | The lecture will aim to give the student the physical and mathematical basis for understanding phenomena dealing with fluids. Physical concepts providing a macroscopic description of the fluid will be presented. The classical laws for the fluid motion will then be derived. A special attention will be paid on a physical and intuitive description of the different phenomena. Within this context, dimensional analysis will be introduced and used, among others, in the case of fluid instabilities. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good methematical and physical basis of one year in physical sciences is recommanded. |
|
| Workshops : | Following the theoretical lectures, practicle examples will be solved in classroom.
Experiments emphasizing the fluid behavior in different context will be performed : rheological fluids f.ex. |
|
| Organization : | The lecture is organized at the second semester. |
|
| Written notes : | See the website of the professor. |
|
| Assessment : | Oral/written exam. |
