Fluid Dynamics A

Lecturer:

Josef Adamec, Pavel Šafařík

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics

Synopsis:

The first course in Fluid Mechanics designed to provide the fundamental tools necessary to analyse a fluid systems and predict its behaviour.

1. Introduction, basic properties, quantities and units, Fluid statics, development of the hydrostatic law

2. Forces on submerged surfaces, buoyancy

3. Ideal fluid in motion: basic laws - continuity equation, Bernoulli equation, linear momentum equation, discharge from vessels, one-dimensional pipe flow

4. Frictional and local losses

5. Principles of pressure, velocity and discharge measurement

6. Unsteady one-dimensional flow

7. Relative flows

8. Force action on fluid jet

9. Laminar flows

10. Turbulent flows

11. Flow past bodies, boundary layer, drag and lift, wing theory

12. Dimensional analysis and model theory

13. Potential flow theory

14. Navier-Stokes equation
