Objectives

Complements the syllabus of Fluid Mechanics I and II. Basically we teach advanced fluid mechanics. For instance,  olutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, the boundary layer theory, non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and rheologu, microfluidics and modeling of flow in turbulent regime by analytical or computational means.

Learning outcomes and competences

Provides critical assessment of complex fluid flows.

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.

Eligibility for exams

Regulations at FEUP

Calculation formula of final grade

Three assignements and final exam. Each assignement must have a minimum mark of 7/20 for approval.

Assignement 1: solutions of flow problems for Navier-Stokes equations and the boundary layer theory (20% for final mark)
Assignement 2: solutions of flow problems involving non-Newtonian fluids and fluid rheology (20% for final mark)
Assignement 3: one CFD case (30% for final mark)
Final exam on the topics of chapters 1,2, 4, 5 and 6 is worth 30% to the final mark

Each member of each group will also evaluate the performance of his/her colleagues within the group, which wil have an impact on the individual mark of each group assignement.

Since the evaluation of this module is through a combination of assignments during the semester and a final examination,  it is not possible to substitute the set by a single moment of evaluation, therefore the the resit evaluation only substitutes the final exam and is also worth 30% of the final mark. The student will have to apply for the next edition of the course, in the next academic year, if he fails in the assignements or wishes to raise his mark.

Examinations or Special Assignments

none

Internship work/project

none

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Since the evaluation of this module is continuous and through a combination of three assignements and one final written exam, it is not possible the whole evaluation by a single moment evaluation.

Therefore, the evaluation of students with a special status is identical to that of regular students on what concerns the assignements during the semester, with the same weights for the final mark, except that the final exam with a weight of 30% can take place as part of a special evaluation. However, for final approval it is also necessary that each of the elements of evaluation, including the written exams, have a minimum mark of 7.

Classification improvement

Since the evaluation of this module is thorugh a combination of assignements during the semester and a final examination, it is not possible to substitute by a single moment of evaluation. Therefore  to improve the mark the student can do it partially by repeating the final exam during the resit exam, but this is worth only 30%. Otherwise, the student will have to apply for the next edition of the course,according to article 18 of the general regulations of student evaluation (see Rector document number GR.04/01/2018).
