Learning outcomes

The course aims at developing knowledge about the conservation laws applicable to the flow of fluids and about the relevant mathematical models, including turbulence. Significant applications will be provided in the field of potential flows, of newtonian and non-newtonian fluids in pressure motion, of compressible fluids and of free-surface flows. A few seminars will present specific research topics.

Syllabus

Static of fluids. The kinematics of fluid motion. Main conservation laws. Rheology and consitutive laws. Turbulence and diffusion. Some analytical solution for uniform laminar flows, including the case of Bingham fluids. Potential flows around aifoils. Finite difference and finite element model to solve laminar flow in simple geometric domain configurations. Hyperbolic models of PDE's and the general evolution of a Riemann Problem for shallow water and in gas dynamics.

Assessment methods and criteria

The examination is oral. The laboratory work, supplemented by homework analysis and exercise, is followed by a tutor and contributes to the final rank.
