ME 3343: Fluid Dynamics

3 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: ENGR 2214 and Engineering Standing
This course introduces the fundamentals of fluid flows. Topics include fluid statics and kinematics, control volume and differential flow analyses, similitude, inviscid, viscous and turbulent flows, pipe flow, boundary layers, and external flows. By the end of this course, students will develop an understanding of the basic principles of fluid mechanics, apply basic fluid mechanics principles to analyze fluid flows, and gain some knowledge of fluid flow phenomena in mechanical engineering systems.
