Fluid Mechanics II
ENG ME 422
Flow kinematics: pathlines, streamlines, streaklines, rate-of-strain, dilatation, and vorticity. Stream function and velocity potential in two-dimensional flows. Potential flow theory: flow past a cylinder, circulation, and lift. Viscous flow: stress in a Newtonian fluid, the continuity, Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. Introduction to turbulence. Fully developed laminar and turbulent flows. Analysis of pumps and turbomachinery. Laminar and turbulent boundary layers. Includes lab and computer use. Cannot be taken in addition to ENG ME 421. (Formerly ENG AM 422)
