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.

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

1. Fluid Static
2. Fluid Forces
3. Elementary fluid dynamics/continuity/
4. The Bernoulli equation
5. Laminar and turbulent flow
6. Pressure drop in pipe flow
7. Introduction to Pumps
