DESCRIPTION

This unit builds on previously studied one-dimensional methods of analysis to more general transient two-dimensional analysis methods for incompressible fluid flows. A control volume approach using the Reynolds Transport Theorem is used to derive governing equations in integral form: conservation of mass, momentum (linear and angular) and energy. These equations are then applied to study a range of practical fluid mechanics applications including boundary layers in zero pressure gradient flows, lift and drag forces on bodies, pipe flows, pump-system matching, open channel flows, and ideal pump and turbine operation. The process of dimensional analysis is demonstrated in developing similarity rules and model testing experiments.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle, P Beauty Point. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Y Hong Kong.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, K, Q and Y click here for more information.
