EGB323 Fluid Mechanics

This is a second year unit introducing the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics applied by engineers to understand and characterise these systems with simple examples of the relevant principles. Engineers work with numerous kinds of systems where consideration must be given to the motion within, and interactions between, the system and its environment. The concepts of fluid mechanics, in the context of real engineering systems are studies and the basic principles and equations of fluid mechanics presented and discussed in the context of various engineering systems. The unit will provide you with the ability to apply and solve problems related to hydrostatics, explain and report how basic fluid mechanics is used in the design of hydraulic structures and fluid systems, apply the energy and momentum equations to hydraulic systems and machines, and have an introduction to computational fluid dynamic methodology to evaluate engineering problems and interpret and reflect on the results.
