In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion).

Fluid dynamics is an extremely important and practical area of applied mathematics which is used, for example, in studying the weather, waves (e.g. on water, in air), aerodynamics of air-craft/hydrodynamics of ships, blood flow, oil extraction, chemical reactions, sport...

This class provides students with an introduction to principal concepts and methods of fluid mechanics. Topics covered in the course include pressure, hydrostatics, and buoyancy; open systems and control volume analysis; mass conservation and momentum conservation for moving fluids; viscous fluid flows, flow through pipes; dimensional analysis ...

This course is a survey of principal concepts and methods of fluid dynamics. Topics include mass conservation, momentum, and energy equations for continua; Navier-Stokes equation for viscous flows; similarity and dimensional analysis; lubrication theory; boundary layers and separation; circulation and vorticity …

1999年2月23日 · This equation demonstrates that, per unit volume, the change in energy of the fluid moving through a control volume is equal to the rate of heat transferred into the control volume plus the rate of work done by surface forces plus the rate of work done by gravity.

Second-semester fluid mechanics course. Differential form of the conservation laws for mass, momentum, and energy. Potential flows, boundary layer concepts, lift, and drag.

2025年2月26日 · The volume forces (also known as long-range forces) act on the fluid element of volume \(dv\).Let \(d{\boldsymbol{\mathcal{F}}}_{v}\) be the volume force acting on it. Since, as we will see, the equations of fluid dynamics are expressed in terms of quantities per unit mass (or volume), it is convenient to introduce the volume forces per unit mass:

3 天之前 · ME 3343: Fluid Dynamics 3 Credit Hours. ... Topics include fluid statics and kinematics, control volume and differential flow analyses, similitude, inviscid, viscous and turbulent flows, pipe flow, boundary layers, and external flows. By the end of this course, students will develop an understanding of the basic principles of fluid mechanics ...

What we’re doing, in effect, is declaring how we want to move around in space by saying we’ll cruise around with the same velocity as the average fluid velocity of a particular tiny fluid packet. We’ll then figure out how P changes with time in the packet which moves with (changing) velocity.
