The course aims to provide the basics of Fluid Mechanics as applied to Engineering practice. It covers Fluid Statics and the basic equations of Fluid Dynamics, continuity, energy (Bernoulli) and momentum, with application mainly to non-viscous flow and incompressible flow. It also introduces Dimensional Analysis, a tool with many applications to Fluid Mechanics and other technical sciences. Course extends the theory to include the study of viscous flows, with application to lubrication, pipe flow and boundary layer flows. The course then introduces aerofoil theory and gives applications to the flow over real aerofoils. Finally, the course studies the application to aeroplane dynamics, including take-off and landing.
