Exercises and applications on:

• Lecture 1 - Adimensionalization
• Lecture 2 - Creeping Flow           
• Lecture 3 - Lubrication theory I
• Lecture 4 - Lubrication theory II
• Lecture 5 - Application of Lubrication theory
• Lecture 6 - Potential flow
• Lecture 6 - Potential flow and drag on slender body
• Lecture 7 - D' Alembert paradox
• Lecture 8 - Boundary layer: theory and Stokes problem
• Lecture 9 - Boundary layer: flat plate, Blasius solution, separation and classification
• Lecture 10 - Turbulence phenomena and modelling
• Lecture 11 - Modelling of the Reynolds stresses
• Lecture 12 - Law of the wall (Turbulent flow in a pipe)
• Lecture 13 – Summary exercises

This course is held in 4 groups, please register for either group.

NOTE: UE lectures will start on Monday October 8th 

Tests Administration:

• midterm exam: covers the first part of the course program;
• final exam: covers the second part of the course program;
• ''replacement exam'' (nachtest): covers the entire course program and is held after the final exam.

Exam duration: 1h30min.

To receive a grade the student must:

1. attend at least 11 UE lectures. If a student did not complete the assigned homework BUT is in the class, he/she is considered an attendee.
2. complete 50% (minimum) of all the exercises assigned in the homeworks (completed exercises must be confirmed on TUWel).
3. Homeworks may be checked by the tutors every lecture. If a student has not completed an exercise which is marked in TUWel, the entire homework will be considered as unresolved.
4. take at least two exams (this accounts for all unforeseen occurrences such as, illnesses, accidents, family emergencies, etc.). If all three exams are taken, the lowest score will be eliminated from final grade calculation. 

Structure of each exam: 
All exams are tests in written form. Each test has two or more problems. Each problem may have two or more questions. A score is assigned to each question so that the maximum score that can be achieved for a perfect test is 100. Maximum score of the exam is 200.

Scores:

Scores will be assigned according with the following table:

SCORE                GRADE
<100   -> (fail)            5
100-130 -> (pass)      4
131-147 -> (pass)      3
148-170 -> (pass)      2
>171 -> (pass)           1

One exam scoring less than 25 will be considered “not taken”.

Please register also in on of the groups.

Future homeworks and lectures will be provided on TUWel
