TIMEPERIOD: Q 4
LANGUAGE: English/Swedish
EXAMINER
Rikard Gebart Adj prof
PREREQUISITES
MTM038 Advanced Fluid Mechanics
MTM023 Heat Transfer
COURSE AIM
The course broadens the basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and gives experience of technologically important fluid phenomena. It will also give practice on today's research tools (experimental, analy- tical/numeric)used for flow studies.
CONTENTS
In the course the following areas are treated: 1) Separation and secondary flows, 2) Turbulence and turbulence modelling, 3) Compressible flow, 4) Hydrodynamic stability, 5) Density and thermal effects, 6) Multy-phase flows.
TEACHING
The teaching is divided into a theoretical part (~40%) followed by project works (~60%). These are experiments complemented with theory and/or numerical calculations. A number of experimental methods will be used such as Particle-Image-Velocimetry, Laser-Doppler Velocimetry, schlieren och high speed video, together with commercial programs for flow calculations (eg CFX).
EXAMINATION
Home work assignments on the theoretical parts and a written report on each project.
