Course Aim

After completing the course, the student will

Know, be able to describe and apply basic physical concepts in hydromechanics and methods for analysis of fluids at rest and in motion that include:

Hydrostatics (Pascal's law. Forces on flat and curved surfaces, pressure center, Archimedes' principle, stability)
Basic relationship for streaming media (kinematics, control volume, continuity equation, Bernoulli's equation, momentum laws, energy principle)
Model experiments and similarity laws (dimensional analysis, Pi theorem)
Losses in laminar / turbulent flow (friction factors, one-time losses, surface roughness)

Know, be able to describe and analyze technically important cases such as:

Pumps and piping systems (velocity diagram, pump equation, laws of similarity, pump curves)
Water turbines (impulse and reaction turbines, turbine equation, velocity diagram)

Contents

The course deals with basic physical concepts in hydromechanics and methods for analysis of fluids at rest and in motion, model experiments and similarity laws and losses in laminar / turbulent flow.
