Unified - Fluid Dynamics: Learning About Fluid Properties and Conservation Principles, Lecture notes of Aeronautical Engineering

Information about the 'unified' course in fluid dynamics offered at mit. The course is designed for students who have not taken a previous university-level fluid dynamics course. The learning objectives include understanding the physical properties of fluids, conservation principles, and applying mathematical tools. Measurable outcomes include explaining basic aerodynamics concepts and modeling inviscid, steady fluid flow. Assessment strategies include self-assessment and retaining copies of written assignments and quizzes.

Unified Fluid Dynamics
Scope
The fluids material in UE is begun at an introductory level, and assumes that most students
will not have had a previous course in fluid dynamics at the university sophomore level. A
few of the most important topics will be taken to a moderately advanced level, reflecting
the fact that many of the UE students will not take another course in fluid dynamics during
their MIT undergraduate program.
Learning Objectives Students in Unified will learn to:
Explain the physical properties of a fluid and their consequence on fluid flow, expressed
in terms of Mach and Reynolds numbers
Understand the conservation principles of mass, momentum, and energy for fluid flow
Apply the basic applied-mathematical tools that support fluid dynamics
Create conceptual and quantitative models of inviscid, steady fluid flow over simple
bodies (airfoils, wings) and in channels
Measurable Outcomes Students graduating from Unified will be able to:
Explain the basic concepts of aerodynamics to a high-school senior or non-technical
person
Apply the conservation principles of mass, momentum, and energy to fluid flow systems
with emphasis on aerodynamics
Model inviscid, steady fluid flow over simple aerodynamic shapes, and compute or
estimate the associated forces and moments
Assessment Strategy
Students’ self-assessment of understanding the course material, relative to the learning
objectives
Retain copies of A, B, and C level performances on written assignments and quizzes
