Class Objectives
/Class Outline
1. To understand the momentum transport (Newton's viscosity law, shell balance, velocity distribution in a pipe, mass and momentum conservation laws, flow regimes (laminar/turbulent flow), dimensionless numbers, etc.).
2. To understand the characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids and the flow of polymeric fluids.
3. To understand the theory and numerical analysis methods (Stokes' equation, discrete element method, etc.) for granular flows.
4. To understand numerical analytical methods (volume-of-fluid method, Level Set method, etc.) for free surface flows.

Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review
The first half of the course is a review of undergraduate classes and exercises. Please review what you have learned in the undergraduate course.
In the second half of the course, students are encouraged to review and use their own PCs.
 
Requirements  
Grading Method A passing score of 60 or higher is based on an overall evaluation of the exercises, reports, and examinations out of a maximum score of 100 points. 
Practical Experience Experienced  
Summary of Practical Experience and Class Contents based on it Work experience at a machinery manufacturer. 
Message
