Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions

Content

The module Fluid Mechanics 1 mediates the basics of mechanics of gases and fluids and belongs therefore to the field of classical mechanics as part of engineering education. Based on the content of the module Fluid Mechanics I further lectures in the following semesters with the following contents could be attended:: (1) Physics of fluids, (2) Kinematics of fluids, (3) Conservation laws for mass and momentum, (4) The Bernoulli-equation, (5) Conservation law for energy, (6) Navier-Stokes-equations, (7) Turbulence, (8) Technical Flows.

Learning Outcome

After having successfully passed the exam of the module Fluid Mechanics 1 the students will have on their disposal:
1. Knowledges about the basic kinematic behaviour of liquid and gaseous medias
2. The ability of kinematic flow description
3. The ability to analyse the dynamics of fluids using the conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy
4. The ability to decribe and analyse simple compressible flows
5. The ability to find simple exact solutions to Navier-Stokes -Equations
6. The penomenological comprehension of the effects of friction and turbulence
7. The ability to analyse technical fluids

Learning and Teaching Methods

In the lecture series the teaching contents are mediated through lecture, presentation and board notes with slides, Tablet-PC and Beamer. The theory is visualised through examples and important context is derived step by step. The students have access via Internet to a slide collection, a supplementing script, a collection of exercises. The students are encouraged to solve the exercises themselves. The associated proposed solution will be presented during the central tutorial via Tablet-PC and/or board notes and will be discussed in context with the theoretical basics of the lecture.
In group tutorials the problem-solving competences of the students will be enhanced by solving additional exercises. In particular, the ability to apply solution strategies to similar problem descriptions are promoted.

Module Exam

Description of exams and course work

The examination performance will be brought through a written exam (90 Minutes netto-elaborating time), where the achievement of all learning results of the module is proofed.
In a short question part the students should answer knowledge- and comprehension question in short phrases and proof, that they master the basics and contexts of inviscid and simple viscous flows.
In a calculation part should be proofed, that the students are able to recognize in a limited time and with limited tools the problems of fluid mechanics and find ways to their correct solution. There the students should demonstrate that they can quantitatively describe and analyse inviscid and simple viscous flows (incompressible and compressible).

Exam Repetition

There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.

Current exam dates

Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
