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. It  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.  Many  flow  demonstrations  are  presented  and
analysed mathematically.
