ENGR 4313/5443 Fluid Dynamics

Fall 2004

Department of Physics and Engineering

University of Central Oklahoma

Course Description

The fundamental equations and solution methods of fluid dynamics are presented with particular attention to solving the Navier-Stokes equation. Topics covered will include mass conservation, momentum and energy equations, potential flow, incompressible a nd compressible flows, viscous flow, similarity and dimensional analysis, boundary layer theory, vorticity, and turbulent flow.

Prerequisites

ENGR 3443 and MATH 3103.

Textbook

Viscous Flow, Second Edition, Frank M White, McGraw-Hill, 1991. Please bring your textbook to class for each meeting.

Calculator

You must own a scientific calculator – see the list of allowed calculators for exams in the Department of Physics and Engineering. Please bring your calculator to class for each meeting.

Engineering Paper

Engineering Paper -- available from Thompson's Bookstore or Triangle A&E at Broadway Ext. and 63rd. Please use engineering paper for all homework assignments.

Internet & E-mail

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

for a full list of available general use computers on campus.

Portable Electronic Devices (including cell phones)

Please turn off any portable electronic devices (esp. cell phones) during class. You may not access any portable electronic device during exams except calculators that are on the approved list for Physics and Engineering courses.

Topics

1. Continuum viewpoint and the equation of motion

2. Mass conservation

3. Inviscid flow–differential approach: Euler's equation, Bernoulli's integral and the effects of streamline curvature, the general form of Bernoulli's integral.

4. Control volume theorems (integral approach): linear momentum theorem, angular momentum theorem, and first and second laws of thermodynamics.

5. Navier-Stokes equation and viscous flow

6. Similarity and dimensional analysis

7. Boundary layers, separation and the effect on drag and lift

8. Vorticity and circulation

9. Potential flows; lift, drag and thrust production

10. Surface tension and its effect on flows

11. Introduction to turbulence

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 (and quizzes).

Attendance is mandatory for all exams or other graded activities (e.g. project competitions or presentations).

Cheating or academic dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated.

Homework

Working HW problems in a timely manner is the best way to do well on exams and in the class as a whole. Homework is due at the beginning of the class period on the due-date or due-day. 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. Each problem should fit all of the following criteria: clearly labeled, one problem per sheet of paper, legible and organized. HW papers that do not fit these criteria will be penalized accordingly. See the attached HW Format section for details on the presentation of HW problems. You may also visit the following site for an electronic version of the homework format requirements:

Each HW problem you turn in is worth ten points. Some problems will be graded on detailed solutions and others will be graded on effort. I will not tell you ahead of time which or how many problems will be graded relative to a detailed solution, but on the returned and graded HW paper a check mark next to the problem number will indicate full effort (or ten points) and a numerical score (e.g. 8/10) next to the problem number will be used on those problems under more scrutiny.
