MCSC 6150G - Fluid Dynamics


This course gives a unified view of fluid dynamics by emphasizing mathematical structures that reappear in different guises in almost all subfields of fluids. The student becomes familiar with the fundamental principles, techniques and basic equations in fluid dynamics and comes to appreciate the basic nonlinear nature of most fluid flows. Topics include reynolds number and other non-dimensional parameters; stability and scaling; turbulence and the transition from laminar flow to turbulence; Newtonian and non-Newtonian flows; and eigenmodes of a flow problem including nonlinear exchange of energy between modes, lattice gas and Boltzmann models.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Admission to the MSc program in Modelling and Computational Science.
