COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Fluid Mechanics is a branch of Engineering Mechanics that deals with the study of fluids under static
(at rest or constant velocity) and dynamic (in motion) situations. It deals with the relationship between
forces, motion and statical conditions in a continuous material (liquid and gas). In this course, the
student will first learn about fluid properties and two groups of fluids (Newtonian and Non-
Newtonian). Then he/she will learn about the governing equations of force producing motion; energy
and momentum for ideal and viscous fluids. These governing equations are applied in flow through a
(circular) pipe, (non-circular) duct or (open, liquid-flow) channel. This course makes use of lectures,
problem solving exercises in class.

CLASS POLICIES:
1. Attendance will always be checked. A student who is absent for more than four meetings (12 hours) will receive a
failing grade.
2. A student who misses a Long Quiz or Final Exam will be given a grade of zero for the missed quiz or exam. A
make-up quiz or exam will be given under exceptional cases only and upon the discretion of the department.
3. Homeworks should be accomplished neatly, complete with solutions and figures and must be submitted on the set
deadline. Collaborative work in homework is not discouraged but the students should complete the homework
individually.
4. Academic dishonesty of any form will NOT be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes, but it is not limited to:
• Cheating in a Long Quiz or Final Exam (Copying somebody’s work or letting somebody copy your work)
• The unauthorized used of intellectual property (plagiarism)
• Lying to an instructor or any university employee.
Such actions will be penalized with a failing grade in the Long Quiz or Final Exam and with the strong possibility
of course failure and referral to the Office of the Vice Dean and/or Discipline Office for disciplinary action.
