Fluid Mechanics

328MAE

1. MODULE SUMMARY

Aims and Summary

The aim of this module is to build and develop the fundamentals of fluidmechanics introduced in levels 1 and 2. Students apply reasonableassumptions and boundary conditions to simplify the differentialequations governing the fluid flow in order to have analytical solution tofluid problems. The influence of boundary layer, flow separation andturbulence on the forces acting on a solid body immersed in fluid flow isdiscussed. The concept and use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)as a numerical technique to solve more complex fluid flow problems isintroduced.

2. TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT

Intended Module Learning Outcomes

The intended learning outcomes are that on completion ofthe Fluid Mechanics module the student should be ableto: 1. Appraise mathematical models relevant to mechanicaland related engineering disciplines, and demonstrate anappreciation of their limitations [IMechE_US2].

2. Evaluate engineering principles and apply them [IMechE_E1]. Identify, classify

and describe the performance of fluid mechanic systems and components

through the use of analytical methods and modelling techniques.

3. Apply quantitative methods and computer based models to solve engineering

problems [IMechE_E3] and apply a systems approach to engineering.

4. Assess characteristics of materials, equipment and

processes and appraise engineering workshop andlaboratory skills [IMechE_P1 & P2].

Indicative Content

Appraise the basis for the generalised equations of motion(Navier-Stokes) and the continuity equation and criticallyexamine the validity or otherwise of practical engineeringassumptions and demonstrate the effect they have on thecomplexity of the equations.Evaluate simple fluid flowproblems analytically and identifying stream function andvelocity potential function. Analyse fluid flow governingequations numerically taking into account turbulencemodels.Thorough understanding of the theory underpinningCFD software to predict engineering fluid flow problems;assessing the limitations of particular cases.

Teaching and Learning

Principles, theory, and approaches will be taught by amixture of lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions.Students will need to undertake independent study,including reading and preparation of material.

Student activity and time spent on each activity comprises:

Laboratory 5 hours (5%)

Lecture 23 hours (23%)

Self guided 60 hours (60%)

Tutorial 12 hours (12%)

Total 100 hours

Method Of Assessment (normally assessed asfollows)

The intended learning outcomes will be assessed as shownin the table below, by one coursework assessment, whichmay require using the range of concepts and techniquesintroduced in the module to analyse fluid mechanics relatedsystems and a two hour exam. The assessment requires 30hours of student study time. · Assessment – 40% - Analyticalassignment. · Examination – 60% - Two hour unseen paper.
