Introduction (basic properties of fluids), flow fields (steady/unsteady flow, streamlines), velocity profile (Couette flow) and Newton's law of viscosity, Reynolds number. Hydrostatics, control-volume analysis - mass conservation and momentum equation and applications of CV analysis. Bernoulli equation, measurement of pressure, flow speed and volumetric flow rate, and applications of Bernoulli equation (Froude propeller theory). One-dimensional energy equation, laminar flow in pipes and channels, laminar-to-turbulent transition, turbulent flow in pipes, index and logarithmic laws, wall-roughness, Moody chart, hydraulic grade lines, boundary layers (laminar and turbulent), drag,... -- Course Website
