ME 390. Fluid Mechanics (3)

Prerequisites: MATH 250; ME 370; PHYS 220A and PHYS 220AL. Fundamental equations of fluid mechanics are derived and applied to engineering problems, with emphasis on understanding the physical principles involved. Basic developments are applied to compressible as well as incompressible fluids. Selective exploration of the state of the art of experimental knowledge in major areas of applications. Applications to design.
