FLUID MECHANICS II

The lecture Fluid Mechanics II is focused on subjects of fluid mechanics related with the understanding and analysis of: boundary layers, flow in closed pipes, compressible flow, wake flow, turbulent flow in open channels, water hammer and basic concepts of aerodynamics and interaction of flow with geometry. Special interest is provided in practical problems and applications. Theory: -Flow around bodies- basic aerodynamic principles -Theory of boundary layer -Flow in open channels -Compressible Flow -Water hammer
