SG1218 Fluid Mechanics
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Completed course SG1113 or equivalent.
The student should be able to
- Derive the Navier-Stokes equations and explain the meaning of its terms, including the stress and deformation rate tensors
- Compute the flow field for a number of so called exact solutions
- Derive the vorticity equation and give a physical explanation of its terms
- Use the concepts of stream function and apply the Bernoulli equation
- Discuss the principles of and derive the boundary layer approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations, and to give self similar solutions of these equations including simple thermal boundary layers.
- Describe the phenomena of separation of streamlines.
- Suggest methods for measuring the velocity in a fluid.
- The student should be able to formulate mathematical models and make relevant approximations of fluid phenomena.
- The student should apply these models for simple cases and interpret the results.
- The student should gain some skill in carrying out experiments in fluids.
