The objectives of fluid mechanics are to help us understand the behavior of fluid under various forces and at different atmospheric conditions, to select the proper fluid for various applications and to understand the nature of fluid statics, in particular, dealing with problems related to hydrostatic forces. Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics that studies fluids and their behaviors in response to different forces. The bundled courses program begins with an overview of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics concepts step-by-step with specific workout examples to address the above objectives. The bundled courses program covers three modules. A complete discussion is presented on different concepts, as highlighted in the section below. Fluid mechanics (Module I) introduces students to the fundamental concepts of fluids and their properties, fluid statics, kinematics of fluid motion and conservation of mass. This module covers the topics of fluid mechanics such as characteristics of matter, viscosity, viscosity measurement, surface tension and capillarity, pressure variation for compressible and incompressible fluids, measurement of static pressure, hydrostatic force on a plane surface, buoyancy, stability, constant translational acceleration, and a steady rotation of a liquid fluid flow descriptions, types and graphical descriptions of fluid flow, fluid acceleration, streamline coordinates, finite control volumes, the Reynolds transport theorem, volumetric flow, mass flow, and average velocity. Module II introduces the basic concepts of work and energy of moving fluids, fluid momentum and differential fluid flow. This module covers the topics of fluid mechanics such as Euler's equations of motion, Bernoulli equation and its applications, energy and hydraulic grade lines, energy equation, linear momentum equation, applications to bodies at rest and bodies having constant velocity. Students will be able to analyze the problems related to elementary fluid dynamics, especially for incompressible flows using the Bernoulli equation in particular. The module also covers the angular momentum equation, propellers and wind turbines, applications for control volumes having accelerated motion, turbojets and turbofans, rockets, differential analysis, kinematics of differential fluid elements, circulation and vorticity, conservation of mass, equations of motion for a fluid particle, stream and potential functions, basic two-dimensional flows, Nevier-Stokes equations, and computational fluid dynamics. Module III introduces the fundamental concepts of dimensional analysis and similitude, laminar and turbulent flow within pipe, and analysis and design for pipe flow. This module covers the topics of fluid mechanics such as important dimensionless numbers, the Buckingham π-theorem, some general considerations related to dimensional analysis, similitude, types of flow regime, viscous flow within enclosed surfaces, steady laminar flow between parallel plates and smooth pipe. The course also covers the Reynolds number, fully developed flow from an entrance turbulent flow within a smooth pipe, losses occurring from pipe fittings and transitions, single-pipeline flow, and pipe systems. This module explains each concept in detail and with enough examples and illustrations. This approach will make the students interested in enrolling in these courses. Upon successful completion of this bundled course the students will be able to (i) understand the various properties of fluids and their influence on fluid motion, (ii) analyse a variety of problems in fluid statics and dynamics including dimensional analysis and (iii) calculate the forces that act on different planes and curves. This program is a foundation, resource guide and an excellent source for science and engineering students, early career professionals, and executives who want to learn concepts, design, and dimensions through enough practice of the theories and examples. The different modules are designed for individuals and students who need to understand the basics of fluid mechanics where Euler's equation, Bernoulli equation, dimensional analysis, important dimensionless numbers, and Buckingham π-theorem are the main focus. Each bundled course (Module I, II and III) contains a total of 10, 9 and 11 lectures respectively. Each lecture comprises 20 to 35 PowerPoint presentation slides and pdf documents. The courses are also designed with two quizzes, two assignments and one final exam in Module III. Students are strongly advised to complete the “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (Module I – III)” course by Prof. M. Enamul Hossain at NSRIC Platform to understand this course content.
