Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Engineering Fluid Mechanics
Objectives
- Use of the conservation equations in their integral and differential form to solve relevant mechanical engineering problems. - Use of dimensional analysis and nondimensionalization of the governing equations to simplify the mathematical models of fluid flow in a systematic and rational way.
Skills and learning outcomes
Description of contents: programme
- Introduction. Basic concepts and hypotheses (continuum medium, local thermodynamic equilibrium, etc.). - Kinematics of the flow field. - Conservation equations in integral and differential form. - Dimensional analysis. Similarity solutions. - Laminar unidirectional and quasi-unidirectional flows in ducts and pipes. - Low-Reynolds-number flows and hydrodynamic lubrication theory. - High-Reynolds-number flows. Ideal flow. - Boundary layer theory. - Introduction to hydrodynamic stability and transition to turbulence.
Learning activities and methodology
- Seminars, including explanations of the basic theoretical aspects of the different subjects, as well as solutions to basic problems to illustrate the underlying theory (2 ECTS). - Take-home exams, in which the student has to develop the solution to more complex problems demanding more time that a single lecture (2 ECTS). To successfully solve the proposed problems, the student will use all the tools explained in the previous seminars.
