ENR 3312 - Fluid Mechanics

Credits: 4
Fluids mechanics is the study of how liquids and gases behave in static and dynamic situations, and this course will help students better understand engineering problems and natural phenomena associated with fluid mechanics such as airplane wing design, fountains, and pumps. Beginning with static fluid phenomena, students will learn about fluid density, buoyancy, and pressure. Building on those principles, students will gain and understanding of the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, including: Conservation laws for mass, energy, and momentum; generalized equations of motion and the Navier-Stokes equation; inviscid, constrained, and external flow; and forces associated with fluid motion.
