MENG 3310 - Introduction to Fluid Mechanics

Credit Hours: 3 Lecture: 3 Lab: 0

Properties of fluids, fluid statics and resistance of fluids in laminar and turbulent flows. Fundamental mechanics of compressible and incompressible fluid motion with application to engineering problems. Control volumes and application to fluid flow analysis. Dimensional analysis, similitude, dimensionless properties. Internal and external flows. Introduction to computational fluid dynamics and concepts of turbomachinery. Physics majors may substitute PHYS 3311 and PHYS 3321 for MATH 2320 and ENGR 2302 as prerequisites for this course. Grades of “C” or better in MATH 2315, MATH 2320 (or equivalent), ENGR 2302, or PHYS 3321 are required to enroll in this course.

Prerequisites: ENGR 2302, MATH 2315, MATH 2320, PHYS 3311, PHYS 3321.
