---

Description:

Preliminary concepts; Conservation of mass, momentum and energy; Exact solutions of the viscous flow equations: Couette flows, Poiseuille flow through ducts, unsteady duct flows; Laminar boundary-layers: integral analysis and similarity solutions; Laminar free shear flows: jet, wake, and plume; Stability of laminar flows; Turbulent flow: fundamentals, Reynolds-averaged equations, velocity profile in wall-bounded flows, turbulent flow in pipes and channels, turbulent free-shear flows (jet, wake, and plume); Turbulence modelling: zero, one, and two equation models of turbulence; Numerical methods.
