Learning outcomes |
Educational objectives: development and application of the fudamental concepts on statics, kinematics and dynamics of fluids, conducted as part of an Engineering course.
1. The student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts of fluid mechanics.
2. Must know how to analyse a network of pipes, measure viscosity of an oil, calculate the hydrostatic forces on immersed surfaces and determine the stability of floating bodies.
3. Must demonstrate extensive knowledge about the Navier Stokes equations and their applications, as well as about experimental modeling.
4. Must be able to apply the skills acquired to calculate the aerodynamic coefficients of a wing, and perform an experimental study in wind tunnel.
5. They should be able to read and understand scientific papers on related matters.
