MOOC Introduction à la mécanique des fluides

Course Details

Objectives : Fluid mechanics is a part of mechanics and continuum mechanics which are major disciplines in engineering training. The course we offer is an introduction to fluid mechanics, it is taught as part of the general training of engineering students, it can also be very useful to university students or self-taught people.

Concerning the basics of fluid mechanics, we will place great emphasis on the constitution of the fundamental equations of flows obviously using the principles of mechanics and physics supplemented by hypotheses of physical origins on the nature of fluids and flows. .

At the end of this course, you will know:
Understand the basics of fluid mechanics
Understand the fundamental equations of flows

We will focus on the physical meaning of the equations and we will see how to use them in concrete cases. There are numerous applications of fluid mechanics in automobiles, aeronautics, civil engineering, chemical engineering, hydraulics, land use planning, medicine, etc.

For this first approach to fluid mechanics we will limit the course to incompressible fluids in permanent flow or not. The fluids will be considered as continuous media. We will call a particle an element of infinitely small volume for a mathematical description but large enough in relation to molecules to be described by continuous functions.

Duration and terms : 6 weeks
