Course Objectives
|
Enhanced understanding of fluid mechanics, including the equations of motion in differential form, and turbulence focusing on:
- Detailed understanding of RTT and differential equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy
- Non- dimensionlisationof the governing equations, and from these extract the dimensionless parameters that determine the flow field.
- Approximate and exact solutions of Navier-Stokes equations
- Derive the boundary layer equations and show how to obtain exact and approximate integral solutions.
