Fluid mechanics - 3FME1022

Goal(s)

Learning outcomes :

• To know the equations of conservation of a perfect fluid: Mass ; Mechanical energy (Bernoulli) ; Quantity of motion (Euler)
• To set about production of hydraulic balance sheets
• To understand the conversion of fluid energy into mechanical energy, and the conservation of a perfect fluid based on fluid statics (internal and motive pressure of a fluid; pressure forces on an object; pressure measurements) and fluid properties (including viscosity)
• To master the use of Bernoulli's law and the concepts of converting the mechanical energy of a fluid.
• To know different devices for measuring pressures, flows and speeds.
• To calculate the pressure drops in a circuit.
• To choose an industrial pump.
• To know the basics of dynamics and flows around submerged objects (flow around solid bodies: drag force; terminal fall velocity; dimensionless analysis, friction coefficient)
