Learning Outcomes : Fluid Mechanics"" is the introductory course in fluid mechanics for naval architects and marine engineers. It assumes that students have a basic knowledge of mechanics, as well as elements of multivariable calculus and vector analysis.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Understand and apply the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics to naval engineering problems.
• Apply the basic axioms of fluid mechanics to simple cases of inviscid flow.
• Acquire fundamental knowledge of boundary layer theory and the phenomenology of viscous flows.
