ENME 5350 - Viscous Flow Theory

(3) Credit Hours

Physical and theoretical aspects of viscous fluid flow, from a perspective that provides fundamental background for computational simulation of viscous flows; development of mass, momentum and energy conservation equations for a Newtonian fluid; introduction to Cartesian tensors; development of boundary-layer theory; introduction to inviscid flow analysis; classical analytical solutions and experimental measurements for fluid flow problems; three-dimensional primary and secondary flows. (Background in undergraduate fluid mechanics, calculus, and ordinary differential equations is expected.) Prerequisites: department head approval. Differential Course Fee will be assessed
