Prerequisites
Mathematical analysis, Physics

Learning outcomes
The student should acquire knowledge about the nature of the fluid state and about its dynamics governing equations with a particular emphasis on the conservation laws. Outline of analytical and numerical techniques for the solution of the fluid dynamics equations

Program
ntroduction: The field of fluid mechanics; approximation of continuous; stress on a point; definition of fluid; properties of fluids. Fluid statics. Fluid kinematics. Conservation of mass and momentum Bernoulli theorem The control volumes method Vorticity and viscosity Potential flows Analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for some simple problems Conservation of energy Boundary layers An introduction to turbulent flows Viscous flows in ducts, laminar and turbulent flow regimes, distributed and minor losses Dimensional analysis and similarity.

Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
the examination consists of two tests, a written and an oral examination:

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
- The solution, in a written form, of two exercises on subjects handled during the course. This test will be performed in one hour without the help of any textbook or note; - The oral discussion about one or more subjects handled during the course; T

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
The student will be evaluated with a vote ranging between 0-30.

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
n order to pass the complete examination the students should obtain a sufficient grade, 18 on 30, in both the tests. The maximum grade is reserved to student who proves an in depth knowledge of the fluid dynamics subjects in both the examinations. The “cum laude” grade is reserved to student highlighting a particular excellence in both the tests.
