It is required that the student has a basic knowledge of Fluid Mechanics acquired during Industrial Engineering degree or equivalent. Basic knowledge of Physics, Algebra and Calculus is also required.
The course provides the basic knowledge and skills for the study of viscous fluids and turbulent flows using simple mathematical models which are applied in real situations. Therefore it is important the use of differential equations as well as basic knowledge in classical mechanic and fluid mechanics. To develop these models some assumptions about the problem must be carried out, as well as to analyze whether the model is useful to explain phenomena observed in laboratory. Fluid Mechanics is vast and covers a broad range of modern technologies, such as the design of fluid machinery.Indeed, it is an important branch of classical physics which is related to several technological fields and with some relevant challenges, such as the problem of turbulence. It is a basic and fundamental subject because it is applied in many fields within Natural Sciences and Engineering: astronomy, aerodynamic, propulsion, combustion, biofluids, meteorology, oceanography, hydraulic, acoustics, nanotechnology and turbulent flows, etc.
