SMN6197 Fluid Mechanics - 5 stp
The course is administrated by
Type of course
Course contents
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.
Application deadline
Admission requirements
A relevant undergraduate bachelor Engineering programme with minimum 30 credits Mathematics/statistics topics.
Application code: 9371
The following courses gives reduction in ECTS-points: SMN6200 Fluid Mechanics, 5 ECTS-credits
Objective of the course
The main learning objective is to give the student understanding about the fundamental of Fluid Mechanics and knowledge about 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. The student will know how laboratory and numerical models can describe complex flow fields.
The student will manage to see the connection between basic equations and solution of practical flow problems, and know which problems can be computed with simplified approaches and which cases that need more knowledge.
Introduce students to modelling (numerical simulation) of an actual fluid flow problem and the appurtenant reporting from the project.
Language of instruction
Teaching methods
Lectures & exercises
Software
Flow-3D (for numerical simulations) and the remaining is optional.
Assessment
Mandatory tasks
Student project (pass/fail): The students have to pass the student project prior to the exam.
Evaluation:
3 hour written exam accounting for 100% of the grade in the course. Grading will be done by using A-F grading scale. A re-sit exam will be arranged for this course. The re-sit exam can be arranged as an oral exam.
Date for examination
The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
