Course Catalog Description
Course Objectives:
After completing the course, students must be able to:
- Specify governing equations and boundary conditions for fluid flow problems.
- Simplify the Navier-Stokes equations as applied to a given flow situation as much as is possible without substantial loss of accuracy.
- Calculate velocity distributions for simple flows and find forces on solid objects using analytical methods.
- Use physical intuition in conjunction with the governing PDEs to obtain analytical solutions that predict the effects of experimental parameters on laminar flows occurring in practical engineering problems.
- Analyze and interpret the results, and reformulate the problem if necessary to find an appropriate solution.
- Describe and explain the introductory concepts of turbulent flows, non-Newtonian flows, viscoelastic flows, and computational fluid dynamics.
Textbook & Reading Material:
The following textbooks will be used in this course:

Addressing Sexual Misconduct
Title IX makes it clear that violence and harassment based on sex and gender (which includes sexual orientation and gender identity/expression) is a Civil Rights offense subject to the same kinds of accountability and the same kinds of support applied to offenses against other protected categories such as race, national origin, color, religion, age, status as a person with a disability, veteran’s status or genetic information. If you or someone you know has been harassed or assaulted, you are encouraged to report it to the Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, 135 Park Building, 801-581-8365, or the Office of the Dean of Students, 270 Union Building, 801-581-7066. For support and confidential consultation, contact the Center for Student Wellness, 426 SSB, 801-581-7776. To report to the police, contact the Department of Public Safety, 801-585-2677(COPS).
Academic Misconduct
All instances of academic misconduct will be handled in accordance with the Student Code (http://regulations.utah.edu/academics/6-400.php).
Students with Disabilities (ADA)
The University of Utah seeks to provide equal access to its programs, services, and activities for people with disabilities. If you will need accommodations in this class, reasonable prior notice needs to be given to the Center for Disability Services, 162 Olpin Union Building, (801) 581-5020. CDS will work with you and the instructor to make arrangements for accommodations. All written information in this course can be made available in an alternative format with prior notification to the Center for Disability Services.
Important Safety Information
The University of Utah values the safety of all campus community members. To report suspicious activity or to request a courtesy escort, call campus police at 801-581-COPS (801-585-2677).
