Synopsis

This unit presents the fundamental concepts of fluid behaviour both under static
and  dynamic conditions.  This unit is designed to enable the student to analuse
and  design  fluid  systems.   The contents of this unit  includes  statics  and
dynamics  of fluid flow, potential flow, dimensional analysis, internal  viscous
flow,  eg  laminar and turbulent flows in pipes and ducts.  Also,  viscous  flow
around bodies, boundary layer and compressible flow.
