CE 315 – Fluid Mechanics Required 2007 Catalog Data: CE 315 Fluid Mechanics 3 Prereq M E 212; Math 315. Fluid statics, laminar and turbulent flow, similitude, pipe flow, boundary layer, lift and drag and measurement techniques. Prerequisites: ME 212 (Dynamics) and Math 315 (Differential Equations). Textbook: Young, et al. A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 4th ed., John Wiley & Sons, 2007. Course Objectives: 1. To introduce basic laws, principles, and concepts that describe fluids at rest and in motion. 2. To develop student’s ability to apply fluid mechanics principles to elementary engineering problems. 3. Use sound engineering judgment to make appropriate assumptions and perform fluid mechanic calculations. 4. To develop student’s ability to effectively communicate fluid mechanic fundamentals in conversation and in written reports. Topics: 1. Characteristics of fluid – density, ideal gas law, viscosity, vapor pressure, and surface tension 2. Fluid Statics – pressure, pressure measurement, and buoyancy 3. The Bernoulli Equation – Newton’s 2nd law, static, dynamic & total pressure, and energy line 4. Conservation of mass, linear momentum and energy 5. Similitude, dimensional analysis and modeling 6. Viscous flow in pipes – laminar and turbulent flow & major and minor losses 7. Flow over immersed bodies – boundary layer, drag, and lift Class Schedule: Three 50 minute sessions per week. Contribution of course to meeting the Professional Component: The course is an engineering topic, with contribution in engineering sciences.
