Learning Goals
Present the basic theory and the mathematical treatment of fluids, plasma and solids. Understand the existence of non-continuous fluid dynamics. Develop skills and intuition from the theoretical point of view. Develop skills and intuition from a practical point of view for problem solving. Use new methodologies to solve practical problems. Articulate scientific and technological knowledge in an interdisciplinary perspective. Promote group work
Contents
- Introductory concepts (hypothesis and approximation of continuum medium, non-continuum processes)
- Elasticity: stresses, deformation, linear elasticity, elastic waves.
- Fluids: static (hydrostatic equation, hydrostatic pressure distribution, Archimedes principle, balance and stability of immersed bodies), kinematics (velocity field, Euler and Lagrange description,), dynamics (control volume analysis, Reynolds transport theorem, equations for conservation of mass, momentum and energy (integral form and differential), simple analytic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Failure of the continuum fluid equations: rarefied gas dynamics and hypersonic flows.
- Plasmas (definition, description of plasma as a conductive fluid, simplified magnetohydrodynamic equations).
