Fluid Mechanics
328MAE
1. MODULE SUMMARY
Aims and Summary
The aim of this module is to build and develop the fundamentals of fluid
mechanics introduced in levels 1 and 2. Students apply reasonable
assumptions and boundary conditions to simplify the differential
equations governing the fluid flow in order to have analytical solution to
fluid problems. The influence of boundary layer, flow separation and
turbulence on the forces acting on a solid body immersed in fluid flow is
discussed. The concept and use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
as a numerical technique to solve more complex fluid flow problems is
introduced.

2. TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT
Intended Module Learning Outcomes
The intended learning outcomes are that on completion of
the Fluid Mechanics module the student should be able
to: 1. Appraise mathematical models relevant to mechanical
and related engineering disciplines, and demonstrate an
appreciation of their limitations [IMechE_US2].
2. Evaluate engineering principles and apply them [IMechE_E1]. Identify, classify
and describe the performance of fluid mechanic systems and components
through the use of analytical methods and modelling techniques.

3. Apply quantitative methods and computer based models to solve engineering
problems [IMechE_E3] and apply a systems approach to engineering.
4. Assess characteristics of materials, equipment and
processes and appraise engineering workshop and
laboratory skills [IMechE_P1 & P2].

Indicative Content
Appraise the basis for the generalised equations of motion
(Navier-Stokes) and the continuity equation and critically
examine the validity or otherwise of practical engineering
assumptions and demonstrate the effect they have on the
complexity of the equations.Evaluate simple fluid flow
problems analytically and identifying stream function and
velocity potential function. Analyse fluid flow governing
equations numerically taking into account turbulence
models.Thorough understanding of the theory underpinning
CFD software to predict engineering fluid flow problems;
assessing the limitations of particular cases.

Teaching and Learning
Principles, theory, and approaches will be taught by a
mixture of lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions.
Students will need to undertake independent study,
including reading and preparation of material.
Student activity and time spent on each activity comprises:
Laboratory 5 hours (5%)
Lecture 23 hours (23%)
Self guided 60 hours (60%)
Tutorial 12 hours (12%)
Total 100 hours
Method Of Assessment (normally assessed as
follows)
The intended learning outcomes will be assessed as shown
in the table below, by one coursework assessment, which
may require using the range of concepts and techniques
introduced in the module to analyse fluid mechanics related
systems and a two hour exam. The assessment requires 30
hours of student study time. Assessment 40% - Analytical
assignment. Examination 60% - Two hour unseen paper.
