The course covers the topics related to viscous flow, boundary layer theory and their applications including fans, turbines and pumps. The course also includes elementary topics of compressible flows useful for analysis of nozzles and compressible Turbomachinery. Keeping in view the modern trends in fluid dynamics, an introduction to numerical analysis and CFD is also included. The successful completion of this course (Theory + Practical) would help students in achieving the following objectives:
• Understanding the behavior of viscous fluid dynamics.
• To be able to analyze the problems related to basic in compressible viscous flows.
• Determination of non-dimension parameters for a given system.
• To apply the knowledge of laminar and turbulent flows to find pressure drop in pipes.
• Understanding the characteristics of boundary layer and calculate the forces acting on submerge.
