MASK3610 Applied Fluid Mechanics Course description

The course deals with theoretical and practical aspects of applied fluid mechanics. Some of the vital topics covered are boundary layer concept, governing equations, incompressible flows, compressible flows, internal flow, external flow, dimensional analysis, and introduction to computational fluid dynamics.

The elective course is initiated provided that a sufficient number of students choose the course.

Passed the course Mathematics 1000 (MEK1000), Mathematics 2000 (MEK2000), and Physics and Chemistry (MEK1100) / Physics (MEK1400) and Mechanics (MAPE1300).

On completion of the course, the PhD candidate has achieved the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge

The PhD candidate

• can critically assess different scientific theories in the health sciences
• can assess the usefulness of using qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methodologies in research processes in the health sciences
• has a command of the key principles of qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis

Skills

The PhD candidate can

• articulate research problems, and plan and make methodological decisions in his or her own doctoral work
• identify ethical issues and address them on the basis of established principles of ethical research
• critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of health science research projects
• address requirements in the Health Research Act and the Personal Data Act governing research activities

General competence

The PhD candidate can

• participate in debates on theoretical, ethical and methodological issues in the health sciences
• assess different research practices in the health sciences from theoretical and methodological perspectives

Work and teaching methods consist of lectures, seminars, and self-study. The outcomes of the seminars are presented and discussed in plenary sessions.

None

Individual home examination based on specific questions. To be submitted no more than 2 weeks after the end of the course. Answer papers must consist of up to 5,000 words.

All

Pass / Fail

The course can also be offered to students who have been admitted to the "Health Science Research Programme, 60 ECTS", by prior approval from the supervisor and based on given guidelines for the research programme.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
