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
