Course specification
Course is active from 15.02.2008.. Course which have preconditioned courses Fluid Mechanics 1
The objective of the course is to acquire knowledge, competences and academic skills of students on the dynamics of ideal and viscous fluid. The course envisages the development of creative abilities and mastering specific practical skills in the domain of solving flow problems. it is also planed to achieve the ability to use information and communication technologies in the field of fluid mechanics. Ability to solve specific problems in the field of flow of ideal and viscous fluid. Ability for critical and self-critical thinking and approach in solving specific problems in the field of fluid mechanics. Students will be acquainted with modern fluid measurement techniques, applying basic laws to problem solving. Students will also be acquainted with information and communication technologies in the field of fluid mechanics. Fluid kinematics and state of stress. Potential flow. Momentum equation. Flow of a compressible fluid. Dynamics of a viscous fluid. Boundary layer. Drag and lift force. Theory of similarity and dimension analysis. Teaching is held using the contemporary devices (all lectures are in Power Point), but also using the classic method with the chalk and the board. There is a series of films about fluid mechanics which are presented to students, but also provided for students to watch as their homework. Whenever possible, objects related to the course content are brought to lectures (pipe elements, measuring devices). Practice is divided into computing practice (for 10 weeks) and laboratory practice (for 5 weeks). Computing practice supplements the lectures and is used to solve examination problems on the board with gradual derivation of the result. At laboratory practice are performed experiments with the participation of students, and the obtained results are then used to obtain final results and graphics. For homework, students have to complete their exercises, so in the subsequent laboratory practice they can defend their results and obtain confirmation for them.
