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 and project 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

Attendance to classes in accordance with the regulations of FEUP.
The evaluation of this course can be done in two tests during the classes and in a final exam.
The final mark (CF) is calculated by:
CF = 0,3 Tests + 0,7 Final Exam
Final exam, according to the calendar prepared by the direction of MIEQ.
