 This course is intended for use by undergraduate engineering students in their
junior year. The main objectives of the course may be summarized as:
1. Providing students with the basic principles required for understanding concepts of
fluid statics and fluid dynamics.
2. Developing the ability to apply concepts of fluid statics and fluid dynamics in solving
the diverse problems that may be encountered in engineering practice.
3. Being able to create conceptual and quantitative models of inviscid, steady fluid flow
over bodies and in channels
 Moreover, the course also includes laboratory sessions:
 Designed to develop a preliminary understanding of fluid mechanics by engaging
students in carefully designed experiments that expose them to a broad range of diverse
fluid phenomena.
 Where students in groups of two to four are required to:
• set up and perform the experiments,
• collect data and analyze them,
• report on their findings.

Fluid Dynamics Procedure
CFD
Computational Fluid
Dynamics
 Defined s the use of
computational methods for
solving fluid engineering
systems (Modeling and
Numerical methods).
 The objective is to model the
continuous fluids with PDEs
and discretize them into an
algebra problem, solve it,
validate it and achieve
simulation based design.
EFD
Experimental Fluid
Dynamics
 Defined as the use of
experimental methodology
and procedures for solving
fluids engineering systems,
including full and model
scales.
 The purpose is mainly to
understand and investigate
a phenomenon or a process,
or substantiate and validate
a theory (hypothesis).
AFD
Analytical Fluid
Dynamics
 Applies the theory of
mathematical physics to
problem formulation.
 Exact solutions only exist
for simple geometry and
conditions.
 Approximate solutions for
practical applications.
 Empirical relationships are
developed using EFD data.
