Study of the fundamentals of fluid flows. Application to pipe flow and flow over immersed bodies.
Acquired knowledge that will allow:
- the hydrodynamic and energetic analysis of a fluid transport system;
- the analysis and quantification of the forces involved in the flow of a fluid around an immersed object.
1-Introduction and basic considerations
Some characteristics of fluids. Analysis of fluid behavior. Viscosity.
2-Fluid statics
Pressure at a point. Basic equation for pressure field. Manometry. Hydrostatic on a plane surface and on a curved surface.
3- Fluid Kinematics
Velocity field- Eurelian and Lagrangian descriptions. Steady and unsteady flows. Streamlines, streaklines and pathlines. Accelaration field- material derivative. Streamline coordinates
4-The Bernoulli Equation
The Bernoulli equation along a streamline. Physical interpretation. Free jets, confined flows and flowrate measurements
5- Finite Control Volume Analysis
The Reynolds Transport Theorem. Conservation of mass- the continuity equation. Energy equation. Linear momentum equation. Examples of application.
6- Similitude, Dimensional Analysis, and Modeling.
Dimensional Analysis. Buckingham Pi Theorem. Common dimensionless groups in fluid mechanics. Modeling and similitude. Application to flow through closed conduits and flow around immersed bodies.
7- Viscous Flow in Pipes
Laminar and Turbulent flows. Poiseuille equation. Laminar flow between concentric tubes and along a wetted column. Fully turbulent flow, description and velocity profile.
8- Pipe Flow
The Moody chart. Minor losses and noncircular conduits. Single pipes and multiple pipe systems. Pipe flowrate measurements.
9- Flow Over Immersed Bodies
Boundary layer over a flat plate. Drag and lift forces. Terminal velocity of a sphere.
In the classes the fundamental concepts are exposed. Illustrative applications of these concepts are solved. In the tutorial classes the students must have an active participation.

Attendance to classes, in accordance with the regulations of FEUP.
The evaluation of this course can be done in two tests or in a final exam.
Test 1 - To take place on November (date to be announced in advance).
Test 2 - Test about the program not covered by Test 1, to be done by students who have a mark equal or above 8 (in 20) in Test 1. Test 2 will take place at the same date and location of the final exam (normal season).
The final mark (CF) is calculated by:
CF = (NT1 + NT2)/2
where NT1 and NT2 are the marks on Tests 1 and 2, respectively (range 0-20).
If the classification obtained in Test 1 is less than 8 (in 20), instead of Test 2 the student will do a final exam (at the regular season), which will cover all the topics taught. In this case the final mark will be the mark obtained in the exam.
Students with marks obtained in Test 1 above 8 (in 20) are given the option to do the final exam instead of the normal Test 2, covering all the topics taught in the discipline. In this case the final mark will be the mark obtained in the exam.
The exam of the special season covers the full program taught on the discipline.
Final exam, according to the calendar prepared by the direction of MIEQ.
