CEE 57:020 Mechanics of Fluids and Transport Processes
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
The University of Iowa, IIHR
Instructor: Professor Thanos Papanicolaou
Course Objectives: 1) To understand the properties of fluids (e.g., viscosity, density).
2) To learn the fundamentals on the principles of hydrostatics; fluid motion; continuity, momentum and energy equations.
3) To apply these principles to pipe networks and hydraulic systems, including open channel flow; flow machines.
In addition to lectures, movies and laboratory demonstrations, a field trip will take place in order to explain various phenomena encountered in nature.
Learning Outcomes: When this course is completed, the student should be able to:
- Describe fluid properties/be comfortable to use Appendix tables or diagrams from any textbook
- Determine fluid shear stress
- Understand the importance of hydrostatic calculations for the stability of hydraulic structures (e.g., gates/locks in an irrigation channel)
- Understand the concept of fluid pressure stress (or normal stress)
- Differentiate laminar and turbulent flows; one-dimensional, two –dimensional and three-dimensional flows
- Understand and apply the law of conservation of mass
- Understand and apply the law of conservation of energy-What is the Bernoulli equation? Why it has changed our life?
- Specify, conduct, and interpret fluid tests to characterize soils. –Hands on experience in the classroom and beyond!
- How we can generate power from fluids?
- What is a vortex and why it is important in all disciplines related to fluid mechanics?
- Momentum equation-its applications
- Similitude concepts: what is the difference of a model and a prototype?
- Determine flow in pipes; determine friction; understand the concept of rough and smooth walls
- Determine drag forces for different shaped objects
