Description: The objective is to learn and develop a good understanding of the fluid mechanics concepts and tools that are essential to know for successful computational flow analysis. For successful computational flow analysis, we first have to know the problem we want to solve, set up the computational conditions correctly, have a good idea about what results to expect, and properly interpret and evaluate the computed results. This course will help us learn the fluid mechanics concepts and tools required for that. The course will have both an easy to follow mathematical approach and an easy to relate to physical-interpretation approach. The topics covered include the basic mathematical framework, key fluid mechanics mechanisms, scaling and nondimensional variables and equations, and simple fluid mechanics formulas that can be used in obtaining analytical estimates to the problems solved. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MECH 200 and MATH 212
