Course Objectives:
This is a
first course in fluid mechanics. It provides an introduction to basic concepts
in fluid statics, kinematics, and dynamics. Control-volume and
differential equation and dimensional analysis methods are derived and used to
demonstrate applications to simple external- and internal-flow fluids
engineering systems to determine variables of interest (pressure; shear stress;
velocity distributions; flow rates; forces; energy losses; power requirements;
etc). Homework assignments, tests, and complementary experimental and
computational fluid dynamics (EFD and CFD) laboratories are integrated into the
course, which reinforce the theory and its practical application. The EFD
laboratories introduce fluids engineering facilities, measurement systems
(equipment and data acquisition and reduction methods) and uncertainty
assessment methodology and procedures. The CFD laboratories introduce
fluids engineering simulation based design methods, utilizing commercial
industrial software Fluent along with a recently developed CFD educational
interface. The course provides the requisite material for other fluids,
hydraulics, and heat transfer courses in the Biomedical, Civil, Chemical, and
Mechanical Engineering programs.

Class attendance
Class attendance is required except for legitimate reason submitted prior to the
missed class.
Homework
1. Homework
problems are assigned MWF, are due WFM, respectively, and will be returned the
following F. Homework assignments should be submitted by 5:00 PM on the
due date at the fluids homework box outside 2416 SC. Late submission will
not be accepted except for legitimate reason submitted prior to due
date.
2.
Homework solutions should be prepared in the following format:
NAME and Fluids ID
KNOWN:
Problem statement, relevant figure drawn to scale, list of variables known
FIND:
To be determined?
ASSUMPTIONS: List of
assumptions/limitations of solution, formulas, constants, units
ANALYSIS:
Details of the work using appropriate units and significant digits
3.
Solutions will be posted on class website soon after the problems have been
graded. Consult these to correct your solutions for future reference.
4.
Homework problems will be graded by one of the Teaching Assistants, who will
hold regular office hours and should be consulted in case of difficulty in
solution of problems or questions concerning grading.
5.
Each problem will be graded on the basis of 10 points. Homework accounts
for 10% of the final grade.
6. General guidelines for
homework grading can be found
here.
7. You will not receive any
credit for your homework if you copy the solutions manual for the class
textbook.
Experimental and Computational Laboratories
1.
Complementary EFD measurements and CFD simulations are an important part of
this course. Each student must participate fully in the conduct of both
EFD and CFD labs and in the compilation and analysis of the results. Both
labs are conducted by groups with group effort encouraged in the conduct of the
EFD/CFD and analysis of results. However, each student must prepare
independent lab reports. Each student will be assigned a group in the first class list for each section. If
students wish to form a different group, the instructor must be notified no
later than the beginning of the second week of classes.
2.
The EFD measurements and CFD simulations are conducted in the Hydraulics East Annex
and 3231 SC, respectively. Three EFD and two CFD labs will be conducted with separate reports required for
three EFD labs (4% each) and two CFD labs (4% each). Pre (0%) and post EFD/CFD
lab tests will also be given (5%). Laboratories account for 25% of the
final grade.
3.
Consult the EFD/CFD Lab Schedule for the
dates on which each group meets. The deadline for EFD data reduction and EFD/CFD
lab reports for each group is due six days after and two weeks after the lab is
completed, respectively (also see Class Schedule).
Lab
reports should be submitted by 5:00 PM on the due date at the fluids lab report box outside 2416 SC.
Late
submission will not be accepted except for legitimate reason submitted prior to due
date.
4.
More detailed instructions on EFD/CFD lab procedures and reports will be
provided during special classes on EFD and CFD (see
Class
Schedule).
Examinations
1.
There will be two in-semester 50-minute and one final 120-minute examinations,
on the dates shown on the Class Schedule.
2.
Exams may include standard problems as well as multiple-choice, short answer,
and true/false
questions. Examinations may include problems previously assigned for homework.
3. Students may prepare and bring a one-page (one side) formula sheet to exam 1,
one-page
(two sides) to exam 2 and two-pages (three sides) to exam 3. Formula sheets must
be in
student’s own handwriting (no Xerox) and can only include definitions and
formulas. No
homework/example problems and no tables/diagrams are allowed. Students must put
their names and fluid id on the formula sheet, and hand it in along with their
exam.
4.
All exams are closed-book and closed-notes. Only the exam, exam booklet,
calculator,
and formula sheet(s) are allowed. No electronic device that stores information
or has the
capability to connect to the Internet will be permitted during the exam (i.e.,
no cell
phones).
5. Failing
to follow the above policies (items 3 and 4) will be considered as an academic
misconduct and subject to be penalized.
Pop-quizzes
1.
Pop-quizzes will be given randomly, approximately once every one or two weeks or
more
frequently if attendance is low and/or quiz grades are low. To reinforce this
policy, an
extra credit of 10%, 5%, and 2.5% of the overall quiz score will be given for
missing no
quiz, one quiz, and two quizzes, respectively, throughout the course.
2.
All quizzes are closed-book and closed-notes. Only calculator are allowed.
Electronic devices that store information or have the capability to connect to
the Internet will not be permitted during the quizzes (i.e., no cell phones).
3.
Make up quizzes will not be given except for legitimate reason submitted
prior to class.
4.
General guidelines for pop-quiz grading can be found
here.
Grading
The
final course grade will be based on the total points earned during the
semester. The distribution of points is as follows:
Two in-semester exams, 12.5% each = 25
Final examination, 25% =
25
Homework problems, 10% = 10
Pop-quizzes, 15% = 15
5 lab
reports (4% each), posttest, 5% = 25
-------
TOTAL
100 points
Teaching
Class website
http://www.engineering.uiowa.edu/~fluids/
provides all course materials,
including lecture notes, EFD and CFD lab handouts and assignments, and grades
for homework, laboratory reports, and tests. Lectures will present website
lecture notes etc. with additional discussion, using the overhead projector.
Students should not take
detailed in-class notes copying this material since it is available and can be
printed out or used in a digital note taking software, but should rather augment
website material with notes based on additional discussion, which supplement and
expand on website material.
