Type of course

The course can be taken as a single course.

Admission requirements

1. Integrated building technology

Bachelor's degree or equivalent in building / construction engineering, or HVAC / energy engineering. Applicants with other subject combinations (energy and environment, fire, etc.) are assessed separately.

Regulations on admission to studies at UiT state that in order to be admitted to a master's degree program of 120 credits, there are requirements for specialization in subjects, courses or subject groups of a minimum of 80 credits or integrated education of a minimum of 120 credits. For the field of study Integrated Building Technology, the requirement for professional specialization within the subject areas building / construction, house building technology, construction technology or HVAC / energy technology applies. Applicants with other specializations may be admitted after special assessment.

In addition, there is a requirement for basic knowledge of at least 25 credits in mathematics (cf. Mathematics 1, 2 and 3), at least 5 credits in statistics / probability and at least 7.5 credits in physics in accordance with the framework plan for the Bachelor of Engineering.

2. Water and sewage technology

Bachelor's degree or equivalent in construction engineering, civil engineering, water and sewerage engineering, environmental engineering, HVAC engineering and energy technology. Applicants with other subject combinations (water sciences, sanitary and environmental sciences, hydrology / hydraulics, etc.) are considered separately.

Regulations on admission to studies at UiT state that in order to be admitted to a master's degree program of 120 credits, there are requirements for specialization in subjects, courses or subject groups of a minimum of 80 credits or integrated education of a minimum of 120 credits.

Course overlap

If you pass the examination in this course, you will get an reduction in credits (as stated below), if you previously have passed the following courses:

SMN6197 Fluid Mechanics 5 ects

Course content

Introduction to Fundamental of Fluid Mechanics: fluid characteristics, elementary fluid dynamics, fluid kinematics, differential analysis of fluid flow, flow over immersed bodies, lift & drag, differential analysis of fluid flow, dimensional analysis, similitude & modelling, viscous flow in pipes, turbomachines and ventilation & pressure distribution in buildings.

Student project - Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): The students are going to investigate a fluid flow problem using numerical simulations and to make the necessary documentation and reporting from the project.

Topic for student project will selected by the students themselves and report-format will be given by lecturer.

Students have to pass the student project prior to the exam.


Objectives of the course

After passing this course the student should have obtained the following learning outcome:

Knowledge and understanding

The student shall have the knowledge and understanding about;

  • Fluid Mechanics and how basic equations for fluid flow can be derived (Bernoulli, Navier Stokes, Energy Equation), which equations can be used to solve practical problems in various flow situations.
  • how laboratory and numerical models can describe complex flow fields.

Skills

The student should be able to;

  • see the connection between basic equations and solution of practical flow problems.
  • identify which problems can be computed with simplified approaches and which cases that need a more advance approach/knowledge.
  • compute or model basic fluid flow problem and perform reporting from the project.

Competence

  • The student will manage to apply theoretical concepts and terminology of Fluid Mechanics in analysis and solution of practical fluid flow problems.
