Aims:

To convey advanced concepts and their application to problem solving in the areas of fluid dynamics, transport phenomena (with focus on mass and linear momentum transport), non-Newtonian flow and mass transfer with chemical reaction.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module students will be expected to:

be able to apply the mass and linear momentum balance equations to analyze simple flow problems;
	be able to interpret the physical meaning of transport equations and estimate the relative importance of the terms featuring in them;
	be able to apply scaling and order-of-magnitude arguments to simplify transport equations before attempting to solve them;
	analyze problems involving diffusion of mass, linear momentum and energy;
	be able to analyze turbulent flows using simple modelling approaches;
	be aware of non-Newtonian fluid behavior and how to model it;
	analyze simple problems involving mass transfer with chemical reaction
Synopsis:

Mass and linear momentum balance equations (Eulerian and Lagrangian forms)
	Stress within a fluid and problem of closure
	Scaling of transport equations and order of magnitude analysis
	Penetration theory (diffusion of mass, linear momentum and energy)
	Boundary layer theory
	Turbulent flow (characteristics of turbulent flows, averaged transport equations, Reynolds stress, problem of closure, mixing length theory, Kolmogorov theory)
	Non-Newtonian fluids (shear thinning, shear thickening, Bingham fluids)
	Mass transfer with chemical reaction (film and penetration theories)
The Masters level (level 7) version of the module (CENG0019) has a stronger focus on unseen, and more open ended, problem solving.
