Mankind’s use of fluid mechanics dates back to prehistoric times. Early designs of ships and projectiles acknowledges the influence of fluid forces.
In these modern times, exploitation of fluid mechanics has led to some of engineering’s most enduring successes. But, lack of understanding can lead to failure.
Fluids are literally all around us. Golf balls, hydraulic systems, and even bridges are affected by and utilize fluid-related phenomena. In this webinar, we’ll present the underlying principles of fluid behavior. We’ll explain how fluids work, and how engineers utilize fluid behavior in their designs. Various physical effects will be explored. The theory will be presented, along with several real-world examples.
The course begins with a short definition of fluid, then moves to basic topics of pressure measurement, hydrostatic pressure, and pressure at depth. Discussion moves forward to submerged surfaces, classification of fluid flows, viscosity, and many more practical areas that you’ll find both interesting and useful in your practice.
Whether you need an introduction or just a refresher in fluid mechanics, this webinar will be of value to you. This course is a recording of a live webinar.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
- Describe the characteristics of laminar and turbulent flows.
- Apply control volumes to solve fluid-mechanics problems.
- Calculate quantities associated with static fluids.
- Use Bernoulli's equation to solve fluid-flow problems.
- Estimate drag coefficients for fluid-flow applications.
- Identify common types of flow-measurement devices.
- Compare real-world fluid-mechanics applications with idealized theory.
