Fluid mechanics is the study of the behavior of liquids and gases under all conditions of rest and motion. The basic conservation laws are developed and applied to problems encountered in stream and pipe flow, modeling, low speed aerodynamics, forces on submerged surfaces, turbomachinery, and flow measurement. The course emphasizes physical concepts as well as mathematics and is augmented by laboratory work and a wide variety of training aids. This course provides the foundation for further study in aerodynamics, energy systems engineering, automotive engineering, civil engineering, and environmental engineering.
