CEE 331

Credit: 4 hours.

Fundamentals of fluid motion and transport processes in the natural, managed, and built environment. Focus on physical understanding of the behavior of fluids for applications in natural and engineering challenges. Hydrostatics, dimensional analysis, equations of incompressible fluid motion, open channel flow, flow in porous media, groundwater, pipe flow, boundary layers, drag and lift, turbulence, fluids and energy, are covered within a global context to emphasize the role of fluid dynamics on the environment within the framework of the hydrologic cycle in nature and in the built environment.

Credit is not given for CEE 331 and either TAM 335 or ME 310. Prerequisite: TAM 211. Credit or concurrent registration in TAM 212.
