MEE 562 - Advanced Fluid Mechanics

This course is designed to provide in-depth understanding of the fundamentals in fluid mechanics at the introductory graduate level. It starts with formal derivation of unsteady three-dimensional Navier Stokes equations in both integral and differential forms. Exact solutions of viscous incompressible flow will then be derived for classic flow configurations, including Couette flow, Poiseulle flow, duct flow with different shapes of cross-sections, flow between rotating cylinders, Stokes’ first problem, Stokes’ second problem and stagnation-point flow. The boundary layer theory will be introduced, including the derivation of boundary layer separation. Potential flow theory will be introduced, including supposition of fundamental solutions, complex velocity potential, conformal transformation, Joukowski transformation, and Panel techniques.
