Course Learning Outcomes* By the end of this course, students are able to:

1. Evaluate the conditions relating to laminar and turbulent flows in
terms of the Reynolds number
2. Analyze flow situations such as flow in pipes, flow through fluid ma-
chines such as pumps and turbines and flow around submerged
bodies
3. Apply the laws of similarity and dimensional analysis in various flow
situations

Synopsis of Course Contents The aim of this course is to further the knowledge and understanding ac-
quired in the basic fluid mechanics course given in the first year. This
course includes mainly the application of the understanding acquired to the
analysis of various phenomena encountered in the very broad field of fluid
mechanics. Such phenomena include the flow of fluids in closed and open
channels, the study of the lift and drag forces acting on bodies immersed in
a fluid, the study and analysis of flow through turbo-machines, such as
pumps and turbines and the applications of the laws of similarity and di-
mensional analysis.
