MECE 6372 Viscous Flow I

Course is aimed towards familiarizing the student with the properties of a fluid, viscous flow phenomena and the fundamental equations of compressible viscous flow, such as the conservation of mass and momentum equations and the energy equation. Solutions to some of the most common Newtonian viscous flow equations, such as the Couette and Poiseuille flows and some unsteady duct flows will also be explored. Laminar boundary layers will be studied in detail.
