General Information

Overview

This unit introduces the fundamental properties of fluids, analysis of pipe flow, buoyancy, and stability of floating objects. It presents methods of analysing fluid systems using the concept of a control volume combined with the conservation of mass and momentum equations. You analyse incompressible flows in pipe systems and use similitude and modelling principles and techniques to solve problems in fluid mechanics. You will prepare technical and laboratory reports using appropriate 'mechanical engineering language', and document the process of modelling and analysis. You will use ANSYS Fluent software or equivalent to model fluid behaviour inside pipes and other mediums. You are required to act professionally in presenting information, communicating, working, and learning, both individually and in teams. In this unit, you must complete compulsory practical activities. Refer to the Engineering Undergraduate Course Moodle site for proposed dates.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Website

This unit has a website, within the Moodle system, which is available two weeks before the start of term. It is important that you visit your Moodle site throughout the term. Please visit Moodle for more information.
