| Main themes |
Fundamentals: continuous media, Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions, budget of mass, budget of momentum, budget of energy and entropy, non-inertial frame, dynamic similarity
Ideal flows: dimensionless parameters, acoustic waves, compressible flows, shock waves, nonlinear waves
Incompressible flows: Boussinesq approximation, energy method, 1D flows, lubrication, boundary layers, notions of turbulence
Geophysical flows: geohydrodynamic equations, dimensionless parameters, inertia oscillations, Ekman layer, shallow-water equations, Poincaré and Kelvin waves
|
| Aims |
To be acquainted with the basic principles of fluid mechanics (kinematics; budget of mass, momentum and energy) and understand the main flow regimes, i.e. the compressible, incompressible and geophysical flows.
