Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The student who successfully completes the course will have a deep and rigorous "physical understanding" of fluid motion and acquire the ability to correctly formulate and analyze fluid-mechanics problems in the field of Chemical Engineering. The student will be familiar with the use of the basic equations of Fluid Mechanics to describe quantitatively or at least qualitatively the key-features of a variety of flow-fields of engineering interest.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
- The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents. - The student must demonstrate the ability to put into practice and to execute, with critical awareness, the activities illustrated or carried out under the guidance of the teacher during the course.

Syllabus
Kinematics of the flow field. Real fluids: stress tensor and viscosities. The governing equations of fluid motions. Viscous flows at low and large Reynolds number. Flows in porous media. Irrotational flows: applications. Boundary-layer theory. Electrophoretic flows. Effect of surface tension: capillary flows, surface-coating flows, spray flows. Motions of bubbles and particle in a fluid. Entrainment of a particle suspension by a fluid in motion: case studies and applications.
Bibliography
Recommended reading includes the following works: 1) written notes provided by the teacher (highly recommended); 2) An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, by G.K. Batchelor (suggested further reading of certain parts); 3) Physicochemical Hydrodynamics, by B. Levich (suggested further reading of certain special topics)
