This course focuses on basic principles in fluid dynamics. Basic mathematical concepts are reviewed and used to analyze the kinematics and dynamics of fluid motions (e.g. . solving problems related to pipe flow, energy delivery by propellers, energy extraction by turbines, modeling of blood flow in circulatory systems , and atmospheric flows).
Introduction to Mathematical Concepts in Fluid Dynamics:
Kinematics and Dynamics of Fluid Motion:
Introduction to Atmospheric flows:
