Introduction to Fluid Mechanics with special emphasis on applications in mechanical and chemical engineering.

Also for students of Chemical Engineering!

Governing equations in integral and differential form. Hydrostatics. Incompressible, inviscid flows. Compressible, inviscid flows. Normal shocks. Viscous shear stresses. Newtonian fluids. Navier-Stokes equations. Laminar pipeflow. Dimensional analysis, mechanical similarity. Reynolds averaging, Reynolds-equations. Turbulent pipeflow.

The lecture starts on March 7th, exercises start in the week of  March 7.

Please register for one of the groups here in TISS. Registration is open from March 4 until March 20,  deregistrations are possible until April 26.

Exercises:

• The problems are posted in TUWEL roughly one week in advance
• Exception: The problems to be solved for the first week, but only these, you can find on the web page http://www.fluid.tuwien.ac.at/322048.
• Please tick those problems that you solved and are able to present in TUWEL until the eve of the class, not later than 8 pm
• The solutions to the problems are presented by the students in the discussion groups.
