Descrizione dell'insegnamento
Knowledge of calculus (derivatives and integrals), algebra (basic vector and tensor operations), dynamics of a rigid body and thermodynamics.
The course provides the basic tools to understand the motion of a fluid. The conservation equations that describe the dynamics of a fluid are analyzed in the case of inviscid and viscous flows. During this process, a description of the main fluid properties is provided as well as the continuum assumption and the definition of Eulerian and Lagrangian frames of reference. The derived equations are used in order to describe the motion of fluid in canonical configurations such as the Poisseuille flow (flow between flat plates), the Couette flow (flow between flat plates in relative motion), and the Hagen-Poisseuille flow (flow inside a pipe). The forces exchanged between the fluid and an immersed body are analyzed by means of the potential flow theory and boundary layer theory. During this course, the Buckingam PI theorem will be applied to canonical flows in order to derive a dimensionless description of the dynamics of the fluid. An outline about the main phenomena involving turbulence will also be provided.
After the course, a student should know:
• the main properties of a fluid;
• the basic equations that describe the static, kinematics and dynamics of a fluid;
• the principal physical phenomena involved in the motion of a fluid;
• the main interactions between a fluid and an immersed body.
54 hours of lecture
The exam consists of a written and an oral test.
During the written test, students have two hours to solve two or three problems about the topics analyzed during the course.
Students will be admitted to the oral test upon successful completion of the written test. Knowledge about the main theoretical aspects of the course will be assessed during this second part of the exam.
