Moodle course
The Moodle course for the PO2017 and PO2024 programmes in Fluid Mechanics is the same.
Bachelor’s degree (MB) under the PO2024 curriculum
Fluid Mechanics I
Summer semester: 4 SWS (2 + 2 SWS)
Overview
Students will master the fundamentals of one-dimensional fluid mechanics for incompressible fluids. In the practical sessions, students will develop the methodological skills required to describe and calculate fluid mechanics problems. The learning outcome is a basic understanding of fluid mechanics problems and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems or to abstract practical problems into computational models.
Contents of Fluid Mechanics I:
- Fundamentals and basic concepts of fluid mechanics, hydrostatics and aerostatics (hydrostatic equilibrium, forces on components, buoyancy and stability)
- Characterisation and description of flow processes (laminar and turbulent flows)
- Dimensionless parameters in fluid mechanics (derivation and application, Buckingham’s theorem)
- One-dimensional analysis of flow processes (energy equation in steady-state and rotating systems, extended energy equation, pressure loss in components, system and pump performance curves)
- Momentum and vorticity theorems
- Aerodynamic drag on components
Lecturer
- Prof. Dr. Ing. habil. Uwe Janoske
Examination
- written examination (exam) 90 minutes
- Lecture and tutorial materials will be made available via Moodle. The access code will be provided during the first lecture.
- The date of the examination will be announced by the Examinations Office.
Notes
- If you have any queries, please contact Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ing. habil. Uwe Janoske.
Fluid Mechanics II
Winter semester: 4 SWS (2 + 2 SWS)
Overview
Students will master the fundamentals of one- and multi-dimensional fluid mechanics for compressible and incompressible fluids. In the practical sessions, students will develop the methodological skills required to describe and calculate fluid mechanics problems. The learning outcome is a basic understanding of fluid mechanics problems and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems or to abstract practical problems into computational models.
Contents of Fluid Mechanics II:
- Multidimensional analysis of flow processes (derivation and application of the Navier–Stokes equations in different coordinate systems, potential theory)
- One-dimensional gas dynamics (subsonic compressible flows, flows through convergent nozzles and Laval nozzles, vertical shock)
- Introduction to flow measurement technology
Lecturer
- Prof. Uwe Janoske, PhD (Eng.), Habil.
Examination
- written examination (exam) 90 minutes
- Lecture and tutorial materials will be made available via Moodle. The access code will be provided during the first lecture.
- The exam date will be announced by the Examinations Office.
Notes
- If you have any queries, please contact Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ing. habil. Uwe Janoske.
