MANE 2720 · Undergraduate core
Fluid Mechanics
The fundamentals of fluids at rest and in motion, from control-volume analysis to boundary layers and turbomachinery.
Explore the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, encompassing fluid properties, statics, the dynamics of both incompressible viscous and inviscid flows, control-volume formulations of the continuity, momentum and energy equations, dimensional analysis, viscous flow in pipes, boundary layers, drag, momentum integral theory, and turbomachinery.
