The student will gain fundamental but advanced knowledge in Environmental Fluid Mechanics which goes beyond undergraduate level fluid mechanics (years 1-3). They will acquire analytical and modelling skills to carry out more advanced engineering tasks in the water, coastal, environmental engineering space. Successful completion of the module will allow students to comprehend better physical processes of Fluid Mechanics and in particular will allow them to develop problem solving skills that are based on a better understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in Fluid Mechanics applications.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge of the differential form of the conservation of mass and momentum
	Understanding of turbulence in the environment and how it affects environmental fluid mechanics applications
	Insights into transport processes in environmental flows
	Knowledge of reservoir mechanics, stratification processes in standing water bodies and principles of jets and plumes
	Understanding of flows in rivers and estuaries and quantification of flows in open-channels
	Basic knowledge of computational fluid dynamics

The module is designed to allow students to reconfigure and problematise intercultural communication in respect of practices such as tolerance, curiosity, openness, altruistic concern and care, as these are notions that transpire, or should transpire through the process of intercultural communication in diverse settings. Sessions will aim to discuss issues in communicative practice in the circumstances of linguistic diversity and cultural difference. The aim of this module is to lead towards a reflection and applied practices on the potentialities and limitations of complex understandings of language and culture in relation to intercultural communication.
