## MEC E 430 Fluid Mechanics II **Subject & Number:** MEC E 430 **Title:** Fluid Mechanics II **Course Career** **Units**: 3 **Approved Hours:** 3-0-0 **Fee index: 8** **Faculty:** [Faculty of Engineering]{.mark} **Department:** Mechanical Engineering **Typically Offered:** either term or Spring/Summer ### Calendar Description Navier-Stokes equations, introductory computational fluid dynamics, boundary layers, compressible fluid flow (variable area ducts, normal and oblique shock waves, Prantdl-Meyer expansions, adiabatic and isothermal pipe flow), two phase flow. Prerequisite: MEC E 330 or 331. ### Asynchronous & synchronous course content delivery Asynchronous content: Modules explaining the theoretical foundation for the material to be reviewed in lectures and in the problem sets. Modules (and module slide decks/tablet notes) can be accessed via eClass. Synchronous content: In the lectures, I will focus much of the discussion on problem solving. For the benefit of those unable to attend in person, lectures will be recorded and posted to eClass. ### Course Objectives & General Content Course objectives: To expand upon the knowledge gained in MecE 331 by studying, in detail, aspects of boundary layer and compressible flow. Such understanding is required in the advanced design of real thermofluid systems/equipment as is necessary in many sub-disciplines of mechanical engineering. Course topics: 1\. Review of MecE 331, 2\. Properties and solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, 3\. Computational fluid dynamics, 4\. Boundary layers, 5\. Fundamentals of compressible fluid flow, 6\. Laval nozzles, 7\. Shocks in one- and two-dimensions, 8\. Compressible flow in gas pipelines. Course delivery: MEC E 430 does not include laboratories or seminars. Students are encouraged to regularly attend the lectures and/or review videos of recorded lectures, to review the modules accessible through eClass and to complete the associated readings from the textbook. For students needing additional resources, other references can be made available through consultation with the course instructor. ### Learning outcomes: 1.
