This comprehensive course offers a foundational and applied understanding of Fluid Mechanics, tailored for engineering students and professionals. It introduces the basic principles governing fluid behaviour, enabling learners to analyse, model, and solve real-world fluid flow problems.
The course begins with basic concepts and fluid properties, building the groundwork for understanding pressure, density, viscosity, and surface tension. It progresses to detailed fluid flow analysis, covering hydrostatics, pressure measurement, and forces on submerged surfaces. Special focus is placed on buoyancy, metacentric height, and rigid body motion, essential for naval and mechanical applications.
Learners will explore the Reynolds Transport Theorem as a bridge between system and control volume approaches, followed by a deep dive into the kinematics of flow and the energy-based Bernoulli’s Theorem. Real-world relevance is enhanced through dimensional analysis, modelling techniques, and flow behaviour in pipelines.
The course integrates numerical simulations and illustrative examples to strengthen problem-solving skills and promote engineering intuition. By the end, learners will be well-equipped with the conceptual and practical tools required to approach complex fluid systems across multiple engineering disciplines.
Sample Real-World Problems Covered:
Problem 1: Estimate the discharge in a pipe when the hydraulic gradient changes after a sudden enlargement.
Problem 2: Calculate water lost as storage in the Padma River using basic flow parameters.
