Department: Civil & Environmental Engineering Division: Civil engineering

Level and Major: Undergraduate

Course Title: Fluid Mechanics Number of Credits: 3


Prerequisite: Dynamics Lecturer: ---

Course Description:
This class provides students with an introduction to principal concepts and methods of fluid
mechanics. Topics covered in the course include pressure, hydrostatics, and buoyancy; open
systems and control volume analysis; mass conservation and momentum conservation for moving
fluids; viscous fluid flows, flow through pipes; dimensional analysis; boundary layers, and lift and
drag on objects. Students will work to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze, and design
fluid systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills
essential to good engineering practice of fluid mechanics in practical applications

Course Goals and Objectives:
