EGR 346 - Fluid Mechanics (1)

An introduction to the mechanics of liquids and gases. Topics include classifications of flows, fluid statics, Lagrangian and Eulerian descriptions of fluids, Bernoulli and energy equations, closed system and control volume concepts, dimensional analysis and similarity. Applications of fluids to engineering including internal flow, flow in pipes and ducts, external flow, lift and drag forces. This course includes a visit to IIHR - Hydroscience & Engineering at University of Iowa. Prerequisite: EGR 231, EGR 271 and MAT 122
