2.	Description

2.1	Aims

	To introduce students to the language of scalar and vector fields, and to use this as a basis for describing 3-dimensional fluid flows. IS205 and IS206 together provide a starting point for further self-directed study in fluid mechanics. (No further courses in this subject are offered in the Acoustical Engineering programme.)

2.2	Objectives (teaching)

	To consolidate the first year introduction to Bernoulli's equation, via careful analysis of a laboratory experiment. To introduce control surfaces and control volumes. To use concepts from field theory to set up local differential equations for ideal-fluid flow. To build experience in deciding what simplifications are permissible for modelling a particular flow. To show how dimensional analysis can supplement theory and aid the design of experiments.

2.3	Objectives (planned learning outcomes)

	Knowledge and understanding
	After completing the course, you should be able to Recognize and understand the grad and div operators Recognise situations where Bernoulli's equation can be applied Recognise the conservation laws in differential and integral form Understand the concepts of boundary layers, separation, and transition

	Cognitive (thinking) skills
	After completing the course, you should be able to Read and understand relevant sections of the set textbooks Proceed to further study, e.g., IS206

	Practical, subject-specific skills
	Students completing the course should be able to Solve simple problems using Bernoulli's equation. Apply dimensional analysis to produce scaling laws. Apply control volume concepts to simple flow situations or models..

	Key transferable skills
	The laboratory reporting component of this course will give you practice in assembling your own data and constructing a reasoned and logical report on the findings.

2.4	Teaching and Learning Activities

	Teaching methods include

	Lectures and video presentations. Laboratory session, working in teams under supervision

	Learning activities include

	Hands-on experience of wind tunnel measurements Discussion of video material Homework exercises (voluntary) to reinforce learning of concepts.

2.6	Feedback to students during module study (formative assessment)

	Laboratory reports returned with written comments. Discussion of homework exercises based on students' attempts.

2.7	Relationship between the teaching, learning and assessment methods

	The examination tests your knowledge of the procedures, techniques and terminology of fluid mechanics, with emphasis on basic understanding and application of theory to simple problems. You have a choice of questions in the exam (4 out of 6). The laboratory reporting task tests your ability to assemble and process the measurements you obtain in the wind-tunnel experiment, and to interpret them in the light of simplified theoretical models.

3.	TOPICS COVERED

	Background maths: Partial derivatives. Vector fields; gradient, divergence, Laplacian (del squared). Line, surface, volume integrals Incompressible flow: Bernoulli's equation and total pressure losses in a low-speed wind tunnel (lab).
