Course Outcomes:
Students who successfully complete the course will demonstrate the following outcomes by homework, quizzes and final exam.
Course Outline
| Topic | ||
| Potential flows | - Stream and potential functions
- Complex potential function - Singularities, superposition - Method of images - Blasius' Theorem |
|
| Viscous flows | - Exact solutions
to Navier-Stokes equations - Creeping flows - Boundary layers - Similarity solutions, approximate solutions - Pressure gradients and separation - Jets, mixing layers, and wakes |
|

Outcome Measurement:
Your grade will be determined by the following components:
- Homework 30%
- Midterm Exam=30%
- Final Exam 40%
A number of homework problems will be assigned. The homework will be designed to give you practice in applying basic equations and solution methods in order to gain physical insight about various flows and geometries.
