ME 317 - Fluid Mechanics

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
This course defines fluid properties including stresses and strain rate descriptions. Both static and dynamic fluid problems will be explored, using differential and finite control volume analysis resulting in continuity, momentum and energy equations. The Bernoulli and Navier-Stokes equations are applied to fluid mechanics problems. Bourndary layers, pipe flow and drag will be introduced and topics of turbulence will be touched upon. The lab stresses instrumentation and quantification of experimental uncertainty, and introduces topics of similitude and design of experiments. (prereq: MA 232 , ME 206 )
