DESCRIPTION

This unit introduces students to differential analysis of fluid flow problems in three dimensions. Conservation of mass and momentum in differential form are derived and used to yield a limited range of exact solutions. The governing equations are also simplified and used to obtain approximate solutions for boundary layer theory and potential flow theory. Laminar and turbulent flow in boundary layers, pipes and channels is studied. Students are introduced to numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics. Course material is related to practical problems in aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and industrial fluid mechanics wherever possible. Laboratory projects are used to support the lecture material and provide further experience in fluid mechanics measurement techniques. Computational fluid dynamics is studied through a major design project. Sustainability aspects are addressed through emphasis on efficiency and loss minimisation for fluid systems.

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.
