MAT3106 Vector Calculus in Fluids (FOSCI)


Semester 2 (ONC)TWMBA (EXT)TWMBA

Units 1 () Band 2


Pre-requisite: MAT2100 and MAT3105



First this course unifies linear algebra dn differential calculus into the calculus of vector functions. It develops the differential and integral calculus, establishes their properties, and shows how these properties give useful formula in general coordinate systems. The course integrates the application of these mathematical tools to inviscide and incompressible fluid dynamics. It then extends the modelling of fluid dynamics to the flow of a Newtonian viscous fluid. Applications to slow flows and to similarity solutions in fast flows are developed. This course is offered only in even numbered years.
