Organisation and examination
Teaching in the second semester
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course is organized in three chapters.
Chapter 1 : Fluid statics
Basics, Pascal and Archimedes principles, application to the troposphere.
Chapter 2 : Fluid dynamics
Ideal fluids : continuity equation, Bernoulli equation and applications, Viscous fluids : viscosity, Stokes law, Poiseuille law, Bernoulli - Poiseuille law, Reynolds number.
Chapter 3 : Radiometry (Photometry)
Wave and corpuscular Theories, variables and units, black-body radiation, radiation interception, absorption by a continuous medium.
The exercices part (B. Mercatoris) is composed of 5 seances of 3h. Three of them are related to fluid mechanics problems. The two remainings are devoted to exercices on fluid mechanics and photometry using computers.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Initiation to scientific reasoning.
- Initiation problem resolution (translation in a formal language, resolution of the formal problem, solution analysis and interpretation).
- Learning of orders of magnitude and approximations.
- Learning of fundamental physics laws.
- Use of computer to solve problems without analytical solution

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session
Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning
- 5 face-to-face theoretical course were teached.
- Multiple choices questions were submited to students and solved during wooclap sessions.
- 3 face-to-face exercices sessions were organised.
- 2 distance exercices sessions (pumps, photometry) were organised.
- Forums have been created.
Assessment subjects
- Subjects of theoretical courses. It means all the slides and board developpment.
- Slides related to continuous media absorption have been suppressed.
- Exercices resolved during practical sessions or of the exercices booklets.
Assessment methods
- Distance assessment on eCampus. Multiple choices questions for theory and exercices in a single questionnaire. The final quotation will be +/- 40% for theory and +/- 60% for exercices.
- Questions concerning theory will be similar to the ones solved during wooclaps sessions.
- The number and expected durations of the exercices will be adapted to the new exam format.
- Detailled assessments terms will be specified ion eCampus. Solutions to informatic problems will be proposed.
