Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
"Introduction to Fluid Mechanics" (offered in English) is designed for undergraduate students in the mechanical engineering department to study fundamental mechanics of fluids. As listed in the course plan, the lecture contents include
- Concept of fluids as continua
- Thermodynamic properties and viscosity
- Flow kinematics and streamlines
- Fluid statics and rigid-body motion
- Control volume analysis and conservation laws in integral form
- Conservation laws in differential form (Continuity, the Navier-Stokes equation)
- Exact solutions to incompressible viscous flow
- Concept of fluids as continua
