Course info
This course aims to introduce the fluid mechanics and establish its relevance in civil engineering. The underlying concept of fluid statics and dynamics, the relevant equations and their application are then discussed. End with the analysis of flowing fluid in pipelines.
Outcomes:
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
CO1: Explain fluid properties, Pascal law and describe an establish relationship between pressure and elevation.
CO2: Compute hydrostatic pressure and forces on submerged surfaces /objects.
CO3: Apply the fundamental equations of fluid dynamics, i.e. the continuity, Bernoulli, and momentum equations and apply the Bernoulli and momentum equations for solving various problems. Recognize the types of flow in pipelines, compute the energy grade line and energy losses.
