Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: ENGRD 2190, MATH 2930.

• Demonstrate the ability to explain the physical mechanisms governing fluid behavior in a variety of materials and settings. (a,g)
• Solution of the equations of motion: solution of the microscopic balance equations for hydrostatics, unidirectional flows, boundary layer flows, and other simple flow situations. (a,e,k)
• Solving engineering fluid dynamics applications involving macroscopic mass and momentum balances, and Bernoulli's equations. Use of macroscopic balances together with unidirectional flow analysis. (a,e,k)
• Understanding the role of nonlinearity, instability, and turbulence in fluid dynamics. (a,g)
