Course Objectives		• provide graduate students with knowledge in the key areas of advanced fluid dynamics. • use this knowledge in the solution of engineering problems of interest.
Course Description		Basic concepts. Flow kinematics. Classification of fluid motion. Conservation equations of viscous flows. Vorticity transport equation. Low-Reynolds number flows. Exact solution of viscous flow problems: Laminar boundary layers, Similarity solutions. Momentum Integral formulation. Boundary layer separation, Laminar jets, Free shear layers. Introduction to flow instability and turbulence.
Course Outcomes		1. A sound understanding of the governing equations in viscous fluid flows and their physical aspects. 2. Ability to formulate and solve low-Reynolds number flows 3. Ability to simplify Navier-Stokes equations and obtain exact solutions to some simple viscous flow problems, e.g, Couette flow, Poiseuelle flow etc. 4. Ability to derive boundary layer equations in differential and integral forms. 5. Ability to solve integral and differential boundary layer equations. 6. A basic understanding of flow instability and turbulent flows.
