Competency aims

The aim of the study unit is to give the student a
knowledge on elementary fluid dynamics that has relevance in design and analyses of fluids at rest and in motion.

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is
expected to:
- Know some basic characteristics of fluids
like density, viscosity etc.
- Determine pressure drops, levels, flows and
velocities in pipe flow systems by using the
Bernoulli equation.
- Determine pressure drops caused by frictional
losses in pipe flow systems.
- Determine the power for a pump in a
pipe flow system
-Model laminar fluid flow using using finite element method (FEM) on COMSOL
