TAM 532
Viscous Flow
Credit: 4 hours.
Dynamics of flow in which viscosity is significant or dominant, and the development and use of theoretical and numerical tools for practitioners of modern fluid mechanics; physics of viscous layers that arise in both high- and low-Reynolds-number flows; dimensional analysis, exact solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations; jets and wakes; microhydrodynamics; fluid stability; and an introduction to turbulence. Prerequisite: TAM 435 or equivalent; MATH 241 (formerly MATH 243) or MATH 380; one of MATH 385, MATH 386, MATH 441.
