Objectives

Complements the syllabus of Fluid Mechanics I and II. Basically we teach advanced viscous and viscoelastic fluid flows, i.e., Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and turbulence.

Learning outcomes and competences

Provides critical assessment of complex fluid flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Mechanics 1, 2 and 3, thermodynamics 1 and 2, Fluid Mechanics 1 and 2, Calculus, Algebra, Numerical analysis and computer programming

Program

1. Pipe networks
2. Governing equations in fluid mechanics
3. Bpundary layer theory
4. Non-Newtonian fluids and rheology
5. Turbulence

Teaching methods and learning activities

Presentation of theoretical concepts and solutions of some examples during class time. These same concepts and the solution of more elaborate problems is to be carried out individually or in group study.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

Regulations at FEUP

Calculation formula of final grade

Four assignements, one for each topic. Each assignement must have a minimum mark of 7/20 for approval.

Assignement 1: pipe networks, with 20% weight for final mark
Assignement 2: solutions of flow problems, with 25% weight for final mark
Assignement 3: solutions of flow problems for Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and rheology, 25% for final mark
Assignement 4: solutions of flow problems for turbulent flow, 30% for final mark.

Resit examination is composed of four assignements (as in regular assessment, except that assignement 1 can be on any topic of the course), with a deadline of one week. Each assignement must have a mark of 7/20 for approval.

Examinations or Special Assignments

none

Internship work/project

none

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Special assessment evaluations have two parts: the regular part as in the resit examination weighs 75% for the final mark, plus an oral examination (weight of 25% for the final mark).

Classification improvement

During the resit examination period it follows the same regulations as the resit exam.
During the special period it follows the regulations of the special period
