- GOALS
- Introduce students to the fundamentals of Fluid
Mechanics.
- COURSE OUTLINE
- The course will cover:
- Basic Concepts. Continuum approximation, Lagrangian and
Eulerian approaches, Reynolds transport theorem, constitutive
relations, Newtonian fluids, Fourier law, boundary conditions.
- Basic Conservation Laws. Conservation of mass,
momentum, and energy and the second law in integral and
differential forms. Relationships to computational fluid dynamics.
- Flow Kinematics. Streamlines, streaklines, and path
lines; circulation and vorticity; streamtubes and vortex tubes;
kinematics of vortex lines. Relationship to the interpretation of
computed solutions.
- Special Forms. Kelvin's theorem; Bernoulli equation,
vorticity equation. Relationships to viscous/inviscid
decompositions, wingtip vortices, bathtub vortices and
computational methods.
- Basic Complex Variables. Basic complex functions, polar
forms, roots, conformal mappings, contour integrals. Relevance to
problems in fluid mechanics and other fields.
- Two-Dimensional Potential Flows. Velocity potential and
stream function; complex form; simple solutions; superposition;
circular cylinder with circulation; Blasius' integral laws;
conformal transformations; flow about ellipses, lift on airfoils.
- Viscous Flows. Couette flow; Poiseuille flow; flow
between rotating cylinders; flow near an impulsively moved
surface. Computational issues.
- Boundary Layers. The limit of small viscosity; matched
asymptotic expansions; boundary layer equations; boundary layer
along a flat plate; Karman-Pohlhausen approximation; boundary
layer separation; notes on transition and turbulence.
- One-Dimensional Inviscid Compressible Flows. Shocks and
expansion waves; governing equations; compatibility equations;
small perturbation approximation; method of characteristics.
- METHODS OF INSTRUCTION
- Lectures, problem solving sessions,
examinations.
- STUDENT EVALUATION
- The course grade will be computed as:
- Homework: 25%
- Exams: 50%
- Final: 25%
Grading is at the discretion of the instructor. He prefers Ds
above Cs.
- IMPORTANT GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
-
- 1.
- Immediately check the dates listed above for any conflicts.
- 2.
- Homework must be handed in at the start of the lecture
at which it is due. It may not be handed in at the
departmental office or at the end of class. Homework that is not
received at the start of class on the due date listed above cannot
be made up unless permission to hand in late has been given
before the homework is due, or it was not humanly possible to
ask for such permission before the class. If there is a chance
you may be late in class, hand the homework in to the instructor
the day before it is due. (Shove it under his door if necessary.)
- 3.
- Homework should be neat. What the instructor cannot figure
out, he does not give credit for.
- 4.
- Tests will be loosely based on the homework.
- 5.
- Students are bound by the rules and regulations in their
University bulletin, as well as by those specified in this syllabus,
and by the usual standards applied by the College of Engineering.
Read your academic bulletin. Violations of the rules and regulations
in your bulletin may result in reduced grades and/or other actions.
- 6.
- Students are bound by the honor code of their university. It
requires you to uphold academic integrity and combat academic
dishonesty. Please see your student handbook. Violations of your
honor code may result in reduced grades and/or other actions.
- 7.
- Copying of homework, assignments, or tests is never
allowed and will result in a failing or zero grade for the copied
work. It will also result in a failing or zero grade of the person
whose work is being copied if that person could reasonably have
prevented the copying. However, working together is typically
allowed and encouraged for most homeworks, (and sometimes for other
take-home assignments,) as long as you present the final results in
your own words and using your own line of reasoning. Since close
similarities between solutions will reduce credit, it is better not
to formally put down anything until you have figured out the
problem, and then let each person write their own solution. If it
is unclear whether working together is allowed on any assignment,
check with the instructor beforehand.
- 8.
- Attendance is required. Exams missed, even when rescheduled
from the original date and surprise tests, or homework not handed in
on time due to unexcused absence or lateness will result in a zero
grade for that exam and/or homework. Failure to properly complete
homework, tests, assignments, etcetera due to changes in date,
assignment, etcetera, that you did not know about due to unexcused
absence, lateness, or inattentiveness will not be excused and
cannot be made up.
- 9.
- For excused absences where the student has given advanced notice
of the absence at the earliest opportunity, the instructor will work
with the student to arrange for make-up work and tests.
- 10.
- In undergraduate classes, the total grade is further reduced due
to unexcused absences or lateness. See the instructor for details.
Even a few absences will make it impossible to pass the class.
Typically, four unexcused absences result in an F grade regardless of
numerical performance. Conscientious attendance is required for a
confident determination of your mastery of the subject matter to be
made. In other words, this class cannot be taken like a DIS unless a
faculty member will allow you to do so under formal DIS rules with
appropriately modified grading and testing standards.
- 11.
- The College of Engineering has a restrictive interpretation of
what is considered a valid excuse for an absence. If an absence is
to be excused, make sure you at least get official confirmation by
phone that it will be granted beforehand.
- 12.
- The instructor will make sure that make-up tests are no simpler
than the original, but he will try to make them similarly difficult.
However, he cannot make allowances for increased difficulty due to
the small sample size.
- 13.
- The College of Engineering has a more restrictive drop-add
period than you might think based on your bulletin. Check both your
bulletin and the Dean's office to determine whether drop-add will be
allowed.
- 14.
- Some of these rules may not apply if you fall under the
Americans with Disabilities Act. FAMU students with disabilities
needing academic accommodations should contact Student Health
Services for confirmation of permanent physical disability, FSU
students should register with and provide documentation to the
Student Disability Resource Center. Next bring a letter to the
instructor from the Services or Center indicating you need academic
accommodations. This should be done during the first week of
classes.
- 15.
- The instructor might wave some regulation on a case-by-case
basis depending on his subjective determination of fairness and
appropriateness. This will occur only under exceptional
circumstances and should not be assumed. Especially, never assume
that a seemingly minor regulation will be waved because the
instructor has waved it in the past. A second appeal to wave a
minor regulation will probably indicate to the instructor that the
regulation is not being taken seriously and most likely refused.
Any appeal to the instructor will further be refused apriori unless
it is done at the earliest possible moment by phone and/or by
E-mail. Do not wait until you are back in town, say.
- 16.
- Some of these regulations may not apply to off-campus students.
- COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS
- This class requires students to have an
E-mail account. E-mail must be checked daily. Course information
will be distributed through a mailing list; all students will be
entered on this list. Questions to the instructor of a nonpersonal
nature should be send to the mailing list, instead of directly to
the instructor's E-mail address.
