English, Finnish
Responsible organisation:
Department of Physics
Curriculum periods:
2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020

Description

Content

Principle of dimensional homogeneity and dimensional analysis; phenomenology of frictional flow; energy equation of flow and the concept of frictional loss

Completion methods

Discussions and interactive events, assignments, laboratory work, examination

Assessment details

The final grade is based on examination (2/3), assignments (1/6) and laboratory work (1/6).

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to understand basics of dimensional analysis and can use it in planning experiments and solving flow-related problems. Students will be able to explain basics of frictional flow, instability and turbulence as physical phenomena as well as use the theory and phenomenology of turbulent flow to calculate loss in internal flows in terms of Moody's diagram and minor loss correlations. They will also be able to explain operation and basic theory of centrifugal pump, and use it to design e.g. pumping system.

Additional information

Given on spring semester 1st period, every two years starting spring 2018.
