Description

The course will cover fundamental topics in fluid mechanics, including the definition of fluids, fluid kinematics, vorticity and circulation, the fluid equations in different frames of reference (Eulerian, Lagrangian, rotating), macroscopic conservation laws and their derivation from the microscopic physics, Vorticity dynamics and irrotational flow, waves and instabilities, laminar flow, boundary layers, turbulence, compressible flow and shocks, and geophysical fluid dynamics.
