About course

Fluid involving liquids and gases and are present in everyday life, usually in the form of air or water. All moving objects (planes, ships, submarines, automobiles, trains, cyclists) or non-moving (buildings, bridges, mountains, trees) are surrounded by fluid. The motion of the fluid can also be internal to solid or flexible structures (internal combustion engines, cooling and ventilation systems, blood vessels). Furthermore, the dimensions of the problem can vary from galactic scales up diminished scale microchannel. Fluids are easily deformed even when subjected to the action of very small forces, creating complex movements nontrivial solution. The course "Fluid Mechanics I" addresses the physical foundations and the conservation equations (mass, momentum and energy) required for the description of flow and its effects in engineering and applied physics applications.
