Understand how the differential
equations of mass and
momentum conservation
are derived |
| | | Calculate the stream function
and pressure field, and plot
streamlines for a known
velocity field |
| | | Obtain analytical solutions
of the equations of motion
for simple flow fields |
| | | Appreciate why approximations
are necessary to solve many fluid
flow problems, and know when
and where such approximations
are appropriate |
| | | Understand the effects of the
lack of inertial terms in the
creeping flow approximation,
including the disappearance
of density from the equations |

a method of solving potential
flow problems |

thickness and other
boundary layer properties |
