Course Title: Practical Fluid Mechanics
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This course examines practical applications of fluid mechanics. Topics include a survey of various applications (including medical, pumps and compressors, and rivers and streams), theory and applications of fluid statics and dynamics, and numerous examples of fluid mechanics in action.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify and describe how fluid mechanics principles can be applied to several different situations in the natural and built environment.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to define hydrostatic pressure and explain how it exerts pressure on submerged surfaces such as soil and building foundations.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to discuss and reference examples of shear stress on surfaces in the built environmental, and explain how structures can be designed to withstand these pressures.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to describe how a drop in pressure in a fluid pipeline can result in poor system performance and higher energy consumption.
LUs: 6.0 LU Type: LU|HSWs.
Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with hydrological concepts
Advance Preparation: None
Program Level: Intermediate
Course Expiration Date: 11/11/2024
