Textbooks
R.L. Panton: Incompressible Flow (Wiley) (required text).We will also
use the CD-ROM “Multi-media Fluid Mechanics” (Cambridge University
Press) as required viewing of flow visualizations.
G.K. Batchelor: An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, Cambridge University Press
(1967) is also recommended. Students will find that Panton gives an insightful
treatment of most items covered in the course. While it requires some degree
of mathematical fluency, it is easier to follow than Batchelor's book. Thus,
reading assignments and problems will be specified only in reference to Panton's
book. Students are encouraged to consult Batchelor's book at least occasionally.
In addition, I strongly recommend that students acquire a copy of Van Dyke's
book, An Album of Fluid Motion (Parabolic Press). As its name indicates, this
book contains striking illustrations of many fluid-dynamic phenomena.
Reading Assignments
It is essential that all text assignments be carefully read. In this regard,
I emphasize that assigned sections in the textbook(s) constitute a minimal portion
of what should be read. Students should identify and read other portions of
the textbooks which (1) appear as important to those assigned, (2) provide related
material, examples, and expanded accounts of topics that are not covered in
the lectures, and (3) are of personal interest....
Homework
There will be weekly homework sets (mandatory), typically consisting of 5-10
problems. They will be assigned on Wednesdays, and are to be turned in one week
later, in class. The homework will be graded by the TA. Work on assigned problems
is on an individual basis. You may form study groups to discuss other problems
in the textbook or in handouts, but the assigned problems must be worked on
individually!!
Commercial CFD projects
There will be 3 computer projects geared to familiarize you with commercial
CFD software (FLUENTTM) – covering undergraduate-level fluid
mechanics concepts.
Examinations
There will be two one-hour mid-term exams during the term and a three-hour final
exam. The exams are open book: they are designed to test your understanding
of the fundamentals, and whether you have learned basic concepts well enough
to apply them —appropriately and constructively— to situations not
covered in the homework or textbook(s). Needless to say, routine or "type"
problems are not to be expected.
Set dates for the midterm exams are
• October 13 and
• November 24.
The final exam will be held December.
Lecture outages:
Instructor will be on travel on ... Dates for lectures not taken up by midterms
will be rescheduled in class.
Grading
Grading will be based on your performance in the quizzes and the final. Final
grades will be determined using the following weighting strategy: approximately
40% for both quizzes and 60% for the final exam. Some yet unspecified percentage
for homework and class participation will be considered. Although homework will
not greatly affect the grade, it is mandatory that you turn them in.
