Abstract
This course introduces the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, focusing on three core areas: fluid kinematics, integral conservation laws, and dimensional analysis with similarity principles. It explores fluid motion through mathematical tools (divergence, gradient, and differential equations), mass conservation, and the analysis of 2D incompressible and irrotational flows. Integral conservation laws are applied using the Reynolds transport theorem to momentum and energy equations. The course concludes with dimensional analysis and scaling techniques to simplify and relate real-world systems to models. These principles are essential for applications in engineering fields such as aerodynamics and hydraulics.
