AKM 204 - Fluid Mechanics

Course Objectives

1. To give the definition of fluids and unit systems,
2. To give the principles of hydrostatic and calculation of pressure forces,
3. To evaluate the basic equations for ideal and real fluids in the case of one,two and three dimensional flows.( continuity, energy and impuls-momentum equations.) and their applications.
4. To examine the rotational and irrotational flows.
5. To give the boundarylayer, dimensional analyses and similitude concepts.
