CE 380 Fluid Mechanics
Fluid properties, hydrostatic pressure distributions, forces on submerged and hydraulic structures, and the kinematics of fluid motion. The course develops the integral forms of the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, applies Bernoulli’s equation to civil engineering systems, and examines dimensional analysis and similitude, viscous and turbulent flow in pipes, frictional and minor losses, pump–pipeline interactions, and analysis of pipe networks relevant to civil engineering. Two hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
