    MA 410 Fluid Mechanics 3-0-0: 0

    Prerequisite: NIL

    Course The objective of the course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of


    Objectives: fluid mechanics, properties of fluids and their kinematic and dynamic
    behavior through various laws of fluids like continuity, Euler’s, Bernoulli’s
    equation, and momentum equation. Also introduces the concept of flow
    patterns and viscous flow through ducts and their corresponding problems.

    Course After successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
    Outcomes: 1. Understand the concept of fluid, its properties, types of fluid and
    forces acting on fluid elements.
    2. Apply Lagrangian and Eulerian methods for describing fluid
    motion.
    3. Use the concept of stream and potential functions to describe a flow
    field.
    4. Analyse stresses in fluid motion and relation between stress and
    rate of strain.
    5. Derive the fundamental equations of fluid dynamics.
    6. Know the basic concept of boundary layer flow.
