The aims of this unit are for students to: gain a feel for the way fluids behave in situations of interest to engineers; be aware of the different ways of tackling a fluid mechanics problem, i.e. the place of theory, experiment, numerical modelling and dimensional analysis; be able to solve problems in hydrostatics, use principles of conservation to solve simple fluid dynamics, and use principles of similarity to explain fluid mechanics problems.
