Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, to provide basic understanding of fluid behavior and properties, to apply fluid mechanics principles to solve problems in the field of civil engineering.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Discuss the basic principles of fluid mechanics, factors affecting the flow of fluids, viscosity and importance.
  • Calculate the pressure and pressure forces in fluids at rest.
  • Analyze fluid flows using the basic principles of fluid mechanics.
  • Explain the fundamental principles of dimension analysis.
  • Determine the forces induced by the flow.
Course Description The course covers fundamental concepts and fluid characteristics, fluid statics, hydrostatic compression forces on planary and curvilinear surfaces. It also includes the Bernoulli equation, the Impuls-momentum equation, potential flows and dimensional analysis, which are among the basic equations of fluid dynamics.
