MASK3610 Anvendt fluidmekanikk Emneplan

Emnet omhandler teoretiske og anvendte aspekter av fluidmekanikk. Noen av de viktige temaene som dekkes er grensesjikt, konserveringslikninger, kompressible og inkompressible strømninger, interne og eksterne strømninger, dimensjonsanalyse samt grunnleggende eksperimentell fluidmekanikk.

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

No requirements over and above the admission requirements.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student:

• understands the basic concepts of fluid mechanics (such as boundary layer, continuum hypothesis, viscosity, conservational laws) and recognizes practical fluid dynamics problems.
• knows the difference between system approach and control volume approach and is able to explain the difference between Eulerian and Lagrangian description of fluid flow.
• knows how to use the fundamental governing equations of fluid dynamics - (continuity, momentum and energy equations) and is aware of its area of application.
• is capable of using dimension analysis to design prototypes of a reduced scale.
• understanding of the various physical phenomena associated with the internal flow and external flow over common geometries.
• has knowledge about the basic experimental techniques.

Skills

The student is capable of:

• making simple calculations of velocity, pressure, temperature and shear stress for incompressible flows.
• formulating reasonable mathematical models to solve technical problems.
• calculating lift and drag forces acting on rigid bodies moving relative to a fluid.
• analyzing flow in pipes and pipeline networks and calculating energy and pressure losses.

General competence

The student must:

• be capable of using mathematical modelling and solutions to problems in fluid mechanics.
• be able to propose suitable experimental tools for fluid flow problems.

Lectures, experimental lab exercises and assignments.

3 of 5 compulsory assignments must be approved.

The coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam.

The tasks are delivered in Canvas.

The exam consist of two parts:

1. 1 individual report (word limit 2000-4000) based on relevant fluid mechanics problems. (Counts 50 %)

2. 3 hour written exam under supervision ( Counts 50%).

The exam results can be appealed.

Both parts of the exam must be passed in order to pass the course.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed

Part 1: All aids allowed

Part 2: A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
