Main Courses:

《Fluid mechanics L》

Fluid mechanics is one of the important basic courses of civil engineering. This module is designed to introduce the students to the basic properties of fluids as well as the classification of fluids. The module discusses fluid statics and fluid dynamics. Introduction to the concepts of conservation of mass, conservation of momentum as well as the conservation of energy will lead to the introduction of the Bernoulli equations. Flow in pipes and channels and flow between reservoirs will be explained with appropriate examples. At the end of this module the student will be able to:

（1） develop a clear understanding of the fundamentals of fluid flow and the role they play in the design and analysis of equipment and engineering systems.

（2） Identify and analyze fluid flow problems using experimental, tabulated, literature and other numerical data
