Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have the ability to understand the main concepts of continuum mechanics and appy them to solve problems in motion of incompressible newtonian fluids. He will be able to demonstrate a solid and operational knowledge of principles of thermofluiddynamics in the form of balance equations, and of the basic mechanisms of heat convection.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. The student must demonstrate the ability to solve, with critical awareness, design and operation problems of fluid-dynamics thermal systems analogous to the ones introduced in classes.

Syllabus
Short overview of needed mathematical concepts. Balance equetions of mass, momentum, energy (total energy, internal energy, enthalpy): lumped and distributed parameter formulation, integral and local formulation. Some highlights of turbulence. Bernoulli equation in varoius forms. Dimensional analysis. Irrotational motions.
Viscous fluid motions and boundary layer equations.
Viscous flow around immersed bodies: drag and lift. Wall shear stress and convective heat transfer coefficient, Reynolds-Colburn analogy. Convective heat transfer in laminar and turbulent external motion.
Viscous flow in pipes, velocity profiles in laminar and turbulent motions, distributed and singular pressure losses, convective heat transfer in pipes.
