Course Description

This course includes the study of fluid properties, fluid statics, conservation equations, inviscid flow, dimensional analysis and similitude, boundary layer theory, viscous internal and external flow, and fluid measurement techniques.

Prerequisites

E NGR 2033 Statics, ENGR 3203 Thermo, and MATH 3103 Differential Equations or concurrent enrollment in MATH 3103.

Textbook

Fluid Mechanics, Frank M. White, 5^th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2003. The textbook web-site is at http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072402172/.

Other Requirements

• A scientific calculator -- an inexpensive one will do.

• Engineering Paper -- available from Thompson's Bookstore or Triangle A&E at Broadway Ext. and 63^rd.

• Access to the internet and ability to send and receive e-mail – if you do not have a computer at home you can use machines on the UCO campus:

• Look at http://technology.ucok.edu/support/microcomplab.htm for a full list of available general use computers on campus.

General Topics

1. Introduction – fluid properties and definitions, and units

2. Pressure Distribution in a Fluid (Fluid Statics)

3. Fluid Flow – Integral Formulation and use of Bernoulli’s Equation

4. Differential Analysis of Fluid Flow and Introduction to Potential Flow

5. Dimensional Analysis

6. Viscous Flow – Internal and External

Instruction Techniques

Lecture will be used predominantly although sometimes recitation periods will be employed.

Class Polices

Attendance is not required, but you will responsible for any announcements or notes from class. Exam attendance is mandatory.

Cheating or academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated. If you are unsure about a particular matter like working with others on your HW (almost always acceptable) or rote copying of someone else’s HW to turn in (never acceptable) please ask me. Plagiarism of any sort will result in a grade of F in the course and possible further action by the University.

Homework

Homework is worth the equivalent of one test score. Working HW problems in a timely manner is the best way to do well on exams and in the class as a whole.

Homework should be neatly written on only one side of your paper, folded length-wise with your name written on the outside of the folded pages before turning it in (See section entitled HW Format). Homework is due at the beginning of the class period on the due-date or due-day,after that time HW will not be accepted.

Each homework problem will be graded on “10-point” basis as follows:

10 pts = correct, neat; very near a perfect problem solution,

8 pts = close to correct and neat,

7 pts = a reasonable effort was made, but there are significant errors,

5-6 pts = a reasonable effort was not made to properly complete the problem,

2-3 pts = no serious effort made, and

0 pts = no attempt made on problem.

Quality points may comprise up to 15% of each homework grade and are based on neatness, arrangement, and overall presentation. In addition, for this class, all problem statements with accompanying diagrams should be reproduced on the homework to be turned in. In other words, write the problem statement.
