Synopsis

This unit is broadly divided into two interrelated strands. One strand
on  modelling in general uses mathematical tools developed so  far  to
model  a  variety  of  situations.  It  develops  the  importance   of
dimensional analysis and similarity solutions. This strand is  project
based.  The  other  strand further develops  the  modelling  of  fluid
dynamics  by  presenting basic Newtonian viscous fluid  flow.  Revises
some  of  the  second year work and develops further to viscous  flow.
Applications to slow flows and to similarity solutions in  fast  flows
are also  developed.
