Learn the fundamental principles underlying fluid dynamics; including the kinematics of deformation, hydrostatics & buoyancy, inviscid flow, the application of Bernoullis theorems, as well as applications of control volume analysis for more complex problems of engineering interest and in the end understand Autodesk CFD computational fluid dynamics simulation software that engineers and analysts use to intelligently predict how liquids and gases will perform. The subject of Fluid Mechanics has a wide scope and is of prime importance in several fields of engineering and science. The present course emphasizes the fundamental underlying fluid mechanical principles and the application of those principles to solve real-life problems. Special attention is given to deriving all the governing equations starting from the fundamental principle. There is a well-balanced coverage of physical concepts, mathematical operations along with examples and exercise problems of practical importance. After completion of the course, the students will have a strong fundamental understanding of the Principles of Fluid Mechanics and will be able to apply the Principles to analyze fluid mechanical systems. This course is of relevance to engineers and scientists across a wide range of mechanical chemical and process industries who must understand, analyze and optimize flow processes and fluids handling problems. Applications are drawn from hydraulics, aero & hydrodynamics as well as the chemical process industries.
