This course addresses the properties of fluids, the principles that govern their behavior and how to apply the laws of motion to both static and moving fluids. Students will discuss topics including: hydrostatics; static forces on submerged surfaces; flowing fluids; Bernoulli’s equation; continuity, momentum, and energy equations; differential equations of fluid motion; irrotational flow; dimensional analysis; boundary layer theory; drag and lift; closed conduit flow.
