| Goal | The course covers the theoretical fundamentals and flow physics, to give a deeper understanding of technical flows. In addition to the basic equations of fluid mechanics and exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, laminar and turbulent flows, and the boundary layer theory are the main topics of the lecture. Furthermore, potential flows, the similarity theory, and compressible flows will be treated. |
| Content | - Derivation of the basic equations of fluid mechanics from tensor mechanics and thermodynamics
- Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids
- Boundary layer theory
- Special forms of flow equations for certain types of flows (e.g. boundary layers, incompressible, frictionless, low Reynolds numbers, natural convection)
- One- and multi-dimensional compressible flows, method of characteristics
- Potential flow (2D and 3D)
- Similarity mechanics and dimensional analysis
- Introduction to turbulent flows
