Fluid Kinematics

Course Overview: This course covers how fluid kinematics (motion of fluids) is described, and introduces the different coordinate systems used to mathematically calculate fluid flow behavior. Lessons target the rotation, visualization and measurement of fluid motion. Learning Outcome: Upon the completion of this course, you will have a solid understanding of: Fluid Kinematics Description of

Governing Equations of Fluids

Course Overview: This course looks at the five governing equations of fluid dynamics — conservation of mass (one), momentum (three) and energy (one) — which are commonly referred to as the Navier-Stokes equations. It defines the Reynolds transport and Gauss divergence theorems, as well as the required elements for accurate mathematical modeling. Learning Outcome: Upon

Dimensional Analysis and Similarity

Course Overview: The focus of this course is on dimensional analysis and similarity. We will first explore the idea and importance of geometric and dynamic similarity. Next, we will identify some important dimensional numbers and use them to non-dimensionalize the Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we will explore the Buckingham-Pi Theorem, which provides a mathematically formal basis

Viscous Laminar Flows

Course Overview: In this course, you will learn about the basics of viscous laminar flows. These flows can be bounded (internal) or unbounded (external). First, you will learn about the various fluid forces acting on an object in unbounded flows and categorize them as lift and drag forces. Next, you will understand the concept of

Simple Approximations of Fluid Flows

Course Overview: In this course, you will learn how to obtain analytical solutions to some fundamental problems by making approximations to the fluid flow. You will first study the different types of approximations such as incompressibility, inviscid, etc., and understand their applicability. Then, you will learn in detail about a special class of flows called

Laminar Boundary Layer Theory

Course Overview: In this course, you will learn about the basics of laminar boundary layer theory. You will explore how to analyze and describe a tiny viscous region that surrounds the body, the boundary layer, and how to estimate the drag acting on the body. Learning Outcome: Upon the completion of this course, you will

Basics of Turbulent Flows

Course Overview: In this course, some fundamental aspects of turbulence will be discussed. The concept of laminar-turbulent transition is first introduced, followed by a detailed discussion on what constitutes turbulence. A theoretical framework, including governing equations, to understand turbulent flows is then presented, followed by a discussion on the closure problem and how to deal

Real Internal Flows

Course Overview: This course provides an overview of internal flows, a branch of fluid mechanics that looks at fluid flows confined by solid walls and their viscous effects. This understanding helps to estimate the losses that an internal passage will develop and enables engineers to design the pumping systems accordingly to sustain the correct flow

Free

Real External Flows

Course Overview: This course provides an overview of external flows, a branch of fluid mechanics that looks at situations where an object is moving in a fluid or the fluid is flowing over a stationary object. We will begin by analyzing the forces that are exerted by the fluid on the object. We will then
