Innledning

Eksamen vurderes av en intern og en ekstern sensor.

Anbefalte forkunnskaper

The students should have completed the courses on advanced engineering mathematics and continuum mechanics.

Læringsutbytte

Knowledge:

The candidate

  • can identify, apply and/or present derivations of mathematical models of fluid mechanical phenomena and make relevant approximations.
  • can for simplified cases apply the derived models (numerically or theoretically) and is able to interpret the result.
  • can relate obtained data, observed phenomena and processes in a laboratory environment to the theoretical description of fluid mechanics.

Skills:

The candidate

  • can identify the building blocks constituting a real-world fluid mechanics problem to predict possible transition to turbulence, flow separation and propose flow control strategies to prevent them
  • can apply the learned theory on practical examples in order to be able to work with fluid mechanical problems as an engineer.

General Competence:

The candidate

  • can perform independent research and document the results in the form of a report, following the ethical protocols of research
  • can communicate with peers on how computer simulations and experiments of fluid mechanical problems (such as wind farms) are built from first principles
  • can critically evaluate results from simulations and experiments

Arbeids- og undervisningsformer

Lectures and experimental laboratory exercises.

Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter

The following coursework requirements must have been approved for the student to take the exam:

  • comprehending, summarising and critically review a research paper in the field of fluid mechanics.
  • One experimental laboratory report (approximately 5 pages, estimated to 15 hours of work) on an experimental laboratory exercise.
