? Credit Points : 10  ? SCQF Level : 10  ? Acronym : PHY-4-Fluids

The object of the course is to describe the properties of the incompressible flow of real (viscous) fluids, as governed by the Navier-Stokes equation of motion. The course divides into two parts, the first treating laminar flow and the second dealing with turbulence. Traditionally this topic has been the preserve of applied mathematicians and engineers. However, in this course, emphasis is placed throughout on the physics of fluid motion.
