    This 15-week course on fluid mechanics covers fundamental concepts like fluid properties, statics, dynamics, and equations of motion. The course begins with a review of vector calculus and then covers topics like fluid classification, equations of continuity and motion, circulation, stream functions, stress analysis, and the Navier-Stokes equations. It also examines specific flows like boundary layers. Assessment includes assignments, tests, and a final exam. The course aims to describe general fluid equations resulting from conservation principles and apply them to new situations.
