• N-S solutions, velocity profile, max velocity, flow rate
• Turbulent pipe flow
• Viscous sublayer, turbulent layer,….
• Colebrook or Haaland equations or the Moody chart
• Minor losses
• Loss coefficients – need to include all K values based on the system geometry
• Flowrate measurement systems

• Drag and Lift forces
• Often use the dimensionless parameters, CL and CD
• Frontal area / planform area
• Boundary layer
• Laminar vs Turbulent – critical Re #
• Boundary layer thickness
• Blasius solutions, if laminar
• Empirical formula or figure, if turbulent
• Momentum integral equation
• Momentum thickness
• Why did we learn these concepts? What can we do with them?
• Boundary layer velocity profile model → momentum thickness → momentum integral equation →
local shear stress → friction drag force
• But, take an easy way out if formulas or drag coefficient plots are available
• Boundary layer separation (why is this phenomenon important?)
• Drag coefficients (sphere, cylinder, golf ball, other various objects)
