| Learning Outcomes |
At the end of this course, the students;
- Derive the differential equations governing fluid flow, including continuity, Euler, and Navier-Stokes equations, and explain their physical meanings,
- Analyze and interpret exact analytical solutions for viscous laminar flows and apply them to engineering flow problems,
- Apply potential flow theory using velocity potential and stream function concepts to analyze elementary plane flows,
- Evaluate boundary layer and turbulence phenomena using Reynolds averaging and semi-empirical turbulence models in engineering applications.
