OBJECTIVES

Fundamentals of fluid dynamics intrinsic to natural physical phenomena and/or engineering processes. A wide range of topics and advanced problem-solving techniques are discussed. Sample topics include: brief review of basic laws of fluid motion. Scaling and approximations. Creeping flows. Boundary layers in high-speed flows, steady and transient: Similarity method of solution. Buoyancy-driven convection in porous media. Dispersion in steady or oscillatory flows. Physics and mathematics of linearized instability; effects of shear and stratification. Choice of one of the following modules: I. Flagellar swimming and II. Geophysical fluid dynamics of coastal waters.
