Class Objectives
/Class Outline
1. Students understand momentum transport of single phase flow, e.g. Newton's law of viscosity, shell momentum balance, velocity distribution in pipe flow, mass and momentum conservation, and flow regime (laminar/turbulent), and dimensionless numbers.
2. Students understand characteristics of non-Newtonian fluid and behavior of polymeric fluid
3. Students understand theory and numerical method of granular flow, e.g. Stokes's law and discrete element method.
4. Students understand numerical method of free-interfacial flow, e.g. volume-of-fluid and level set methods.
