Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
In subject of Fluid mechanics students obtain the knowledge of application of conservation laws and force balance in case of steady and unsteady fluid flow. They will realize simple experiments to understand the theory. They will be able to solve the fluid flow mechanics problems, pressures and pressure forces in case of steady and unsteady flow.
Learning outcomes
Student is able to apply knowledge from the subject of fluid mechanics in solving problems in hydrostatic and hydrodynamics.
Syllabus
  • 1. Basic laws of hydrostatics, pressure, Pascal's, Archimedes' law, wall force. 2. Euler's equation of hydrostatics and its integration, absolute and relative equilibrium. 3. Basics of hydrodynamics. Basic laws. Measurement of pressure, speed and flow. 4. Basics of similarity in hydro and aerodynamics, similarity numbers. 5. Laminar and turbulent flow, transition to turbulence. 6. Basics of flow in tubes and channels. Discharge from containers, losses. 7. One-dimensional flow in a tube of circular and non-circular cross-section with losses. 8. Non-stationary one-dimensional flow. 9. One-dimensional flow with relative motion, rotating channel. 10. Integral theorems about change of momentum flow and momentum of momentum flow, forces on a wall. 11. More complex cases of flow, the principle of vane machines, pumps and turbines. 12. Basics of body flow. Boundary layer and its tearing. 13. Aerodynamic characteristics of flowing bodies, buoyancy, resistance, polar.
