Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
As a student:
1. you master the central terminology of fluid mechanics and you can explain the meaning of the central concepts
As a student, you can
2. apply the concept of fixed control volume for a traveling fluid particle, or the concept of moving with the traveling fluid particle
3. apply dimensional analysis to scale test results
4. analyze the effect of pressure in a stagnant or in a moving fluid
5. solve problems with Matlab
6. write critically reflective and structured scientific text
As a student, you understand:
7. the significance of conservation of mass, momentum, and angular momentum in fluid flow problems
8. the influence of losses in fluid flow problems
9. flow behavior in pipe flows or boundary layer flows

Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The final exam contributes to 50% of the total course grade. The other half of the grade comes from exercises, essay, and MC Quizes (distribution between exercises, essay, and Quizes is 75%, 15%, and 10%).
Exam: In the exam there are 5 tasks that are graded between 0-6 points. Four tasks will be based on calculations and one will be a conceptual problem. Before the exam, an ‘exam bank’ is given out consisting of 24 tasks of which 1-2 will be in the exam. In addition, at least one task from the exercises will be in the exam. One problem will be a ‘surprize’ task. The amount of points needed for passing the exam is 11 (+-1 one point).
Exercises: There is one exercise per week during the course, a total of 6 exercises. Each exercise consist of 4 tasks. One of the tasks per week will be solved by Matlab. The maximum points per week is 12 (3 points per task). The minimum points needed for passing the course is 50% from the maximum points.
Essay: Students will write one essay during the course. The topic of the essay can be freely chosen by the student but it must be related to the course topics (~fluid mechanics). The aim is that students will focus on a topic within fluid mechanics and have a deeper learning within the chosen topic. The aim is also to help the students to learn how to write with a scientific writing style. More detailed information on the essay grading is provided in MyCourses. The maximum points for the essay is 12 and the minimum for passing is 4.
Quiz: MyCourses Quiz is used during the course to activate the lectures. The questions in the Quizes are related to the topics learned during each lecture. The aim is to activate the students to participate to the lectures, participate actively during the lectures, and also to promote students to go through the lecture material after lectures. The Quizes are not compulsory (no minimum points) but the extra points given will increase the total course grade.
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
The course workload for the students:
Lectures (2h x 12 kpl) x 2 = 48 h
Essay 15 h
Exercises 6 kpl x 8 h = 48 h
MyCourses Quizzes 12 x 0.5 h = 6 h
Exam 4h + 21 h = 25 h
Total 142 h ~ 5 ECTS
Participation to the lectures is not compulsory (although recommended).
