| Prerequisites: | Mathematical Analysis 1,2; Physics 1; |
| Target skills and knowledge: | To set the methodological basis for the mechanics of incompressible Newtonian fluids, of pipe flows and open channel flows. |
| Examination methods: | Written examination (an exercise on hydrostatic, an exercise on steady fluid dynamics, and an exercise on open channel flow to be carried out in 2 h) and oral examination. |
| Assessment criteria: | Completeness, rigour and orderliness of the essay; clarity of exposition; rigour in using the technical terminology. The level of correspondence to these criteria will determine the graduation of the judgement and, consequently, the final mark. |
| Course unit contents: | Definitions and general properties of fluids. Equilibrium of fluids at rest; forces on immersed surfaces. Principles of conservation of mass and momentum, in integral and differential forms. Fluid dynamics: constitutive relation fro Newtonian viscous fluids; Navier-Stokes' equations. Flow at high Reynolds numbers: definition of perfect fluid; Euler's equation; Bernoulli theorem and relavant applications. Vorticity dynamics (basics). Potential flows (basics). Laminar flows: motion between parallel planes and in pipes. Turbulent flows: Reynolds' equations: turbulent flow in pipes. Laminar and turbulent boundary layers (basics). Flow resistance in pipes: hydraulically smooth and rough wall; continuous (Darcy-Weisbach, Gauckler-Strickler and Colebrook-White relations) and localized (Borda) energy dissipations. Pipe networcs (basics). Pumps and turbines. Altimetric problems in long pipes Steady open channel flows: uniform flow; resistance formulas; specific head; total force; subcritical and supercritical flows; hydraulic jump; gradually varied flow profile. |
| Planned learning activities and teaching methods: | Frontal teaching and practical exercises, that the student has to further develop and deepen with his study. |
| Additional notes about suggested reading: | Lesson Notes and books for deepening the personal knowledge. |
| Textbooks (and optional supplementary readings) |
