Learning goals / The students shall acquire consolidated skills of the basic laws of
competences: hydraulics, potential theory, flow dynamics and turbulence theory.
The students shall be enabled to assess and to solve technical
problems related to flow dynamics in hydraulics and in
aerodynamics.

Content: The technical basics of dynamic fluid flows are introduced, studied
and recapitulated as well as related problems which are relevant
for practical applications and solution procedures with an emphasis
put on computational aspects. The lectures and exercises contain
the following topics:
• short review of hydrostatics and dynamics of
incompressible flows involving friction (conservation of
mass, energy and momentum, Navier-Stokes equations)
• potential flow
• isotropic turbulence and turbulence in a boundary layer flow
• flow over streamlined and bluff bodies
The students are guided in the exercises to working out
assessment and solution strategies for related, typical technical
problems in fluid dynamics.

Forms of media: Blackboard, beamer, overheads, visit to laboratory; exercises with

examples; regular consultations with discussion of homework
