Hydro dynamics (Theory)

CO60: Distinguish the basic principles of ideal fluid, such as Lagrangian and Eulerian approach, conservation of mass, etc.

CO61: Apply  Euler  and  Bernoulli's  equations  and  the  conservation  of  mass  to  determine velocity and acceleration for incompressible and non-viscous fluid.

CO62: Differentiate between rotational and irrotational flow, stream functions, velocity potential and be able to construct complex potential due to sink, source and doublets.

CO63: Analyze the motion of a fluid element, vorticity, flow and circulation, connectivity and irrotational motion in multiple connected spaces.

CO64: Analyze the motion of a circular cylinder in a uniform stream and two co-axial cylinders. Streaming and circulation for a fixed circular cylinder.

CO65: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
