Class Objectives
/Class Outline
Fluid Dynamics is the key to our understanding of the most important phenomena in our physical world. Objectives of the class are learning of the basic concepts of fluid flows and understanding how to apply the concepts and laws to important phenomena(B). 
Class Schedule 1. Introduction
2. Viscousity and compressibility
3. Pressure and compressibility
4. Hydrostatics(static pressure)
5. Hydrostatics(Paskal's law, etc)
6. Basic theory (1)  Bernoulli equation, stream lines
7. Basic theory (2)  Applications of Bernoulli equation; Pitot tube, manometer
8. Basic theory (3)  Applications of Bernoulli equation ; Venturi meter, orifice  
9. Basic theory (4) Introduction of Momentum Conservation
10. Basic theory (5) Momentum Conservation and Fluid Force
11. Basic theory (6) Applications of Momentum Conservation
12. Dimensional analysis and similarity; Dimensinless parameters, Drag and Lift coefficients
13. Lagrange/Euler description
14. Basics of Governing equations
15. Summary

16. Exam

Elements of fluid mechanics as applied to engineering problems. Equations of motion for incompressible ideal flow.  Control volume laws for mass, momentum, and energy.  Dimensional analysis and similarity. Laminar viscous fluid flow. Governing equations, boundary conditions, and constitutive laws

※Some short training will be done in classes. 
Text/Reference
Books,etc.
Fluid Dynamics (Jikkyo Coorp.)
by Prof. Kanehara

Powerpoint(visualization) will be also used for understanding well. 
PC or AV used in
Class,etc.
 
(More Details) Textbook, powerpoint 
Learning techniques to be incorporated  
Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
Use TextBook usefully and it is very important to review fundamental mathematics like vector analysis, differential equation, integrals, etc. 
Requirements Understanding of Mechanics

Note for students from abroad who consider to take this class
: If the same contents are spoken in both JPN and ENG, class time may need double. So, speaking language will be mainly JPN to ensure essential class time, whereas both JPN and ENG documents can be prepared.  
Grading Method End of Semester Examination(around 70%). Homework and Attitude(around 30%). 
Practical Experience  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it  
Message Fluids can fascinate us exactly because they sometimes do unexpected things, which means we have to work harder at their mathematical explanation. 
Other   
Please fill in the class improvement questionnaire which is carried out on all classes.
Instructors will reflect on your feedback and utilize the information for improving their teaching.
