Environmental Fluid Mechanics

Course description

Students investigate fluid properties, fluid statics and dynamics, and fluid flow through theoretical and laboratory studies. Environmental applications of density, viscosity, pressure, and energy of incompressible fluids in pressure systems are studied. Open and closed weir channels, venturi meters and orfice plates are explored. Students use key skills of problem solving and unit analysis to solve fluid mechanics problems.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
