Velocity field, substantial derivative, streamlines and pathlines. Pressure distribution in stationary and accelerated systems. Manometry. Bouyancy. Reynolds transport theorem. Dimensional analysis and non-dimensional groups. Continuity equation, momentum equation and angular momentum equation for control volumes. Energy equation and Bernoulli equation. Euler's equation for inviscid flow and Navier-Stokes equation for viscous flow. Boundary conditions for the basic equations of fluid mechanics. Stream function, vorticity and rotation, viscous stresses and strain rates. Reynolds number. Qualitative aspects of turbulence. Laminar and turbulent pipe flow. Boundary layer concepts.
