Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students obtain the knowledge of application of conservation laws and force balance in case of steady and unsteady fluid flow. They will realize simple experiments to understand the theory. They will be able to solve the fluid flow mechanics problems, pressures and pressure forces in case of steady and unsteady flow.
Recommended Optional Programme Components
Common optional components are not offered, students of special interest can participate in departmental activities or can arrange consulting hours with lecturer.
