Aims

Introducing the first and second principles of thermodynamics applied to a fluid and combining them with the material of the Fluid Physics I course to analyse the main natural and industrial fluid flowing regimes.

Main themes

1. Local equilibrium, equations of energy and entropy applicable to a fluid flow.
2. Characterization of different flow regimes (laminar flow, turbulent flow, Stokes regime, etc.)
3. Compressible flow : Bertouilli theorem generalized, wave shocks.
4. Turbulent flow, limit layer notions.
5. Fluid dynamics in a non-inertial referential, big scale rotation flow.
