Credit Structure: (2-2)3
Catalog Description:
Bernoulli equation, irrotational flows, flow over immersed
bodies, lift and drag concepts. Boundary layers, flow development.
Turbulent flows; characteristics of turbulence quantities, eddy
viscosity, mixing length theory, velocity profiles in pipe flow.
Potential flow: velocity potential, superposition of basic potential
flows. Experimental fluid mechanics: measurement of pressure and
hydrodynamic forces, velocity and turbulence, flow visualization.
Course Objectives:
The objective is to give some basic fluid mechanics topics
which were excluded in CE 371 Fluid Mechanics and CE 372 Hydromechanics
courses and also to improve students' ability of imagination of
fluid flow through a series of laboratory experiments.
