ENG30001 - Fluid MechanicsInformation for students studying in 2013

Please contact the School of Environment, Science and Engineering to confirm details prior to acting on this information.

Unit Description

Fluid Mechanics examines the properties of fluids as well as their behaviour. It seeks to explain pressures exerted by fluids at rest and in motion. Shear stresses in fluids and the response of fluids to the application of shearing forces are explained. Continuity, energy and momentum principles are introduced along with their application to calculate pressures, velocities and forces. Fundamentals of pipe flow and open channel flow are discussed. Topics include: fluid properties; fluid statics; viscosity and shear stresses; continuity, energy, and momentum principles; flow in conduits under pressure; elementary open channel flow.
