Three lectures; One Tutorial (one and one-half hours); second term
Prerequisite(s): MECHENG 3O04 or 4S03, and MECHENG 3F04 or ENGPHYS 2CE4, or permission of the Department

Review of vectors, tensors, tensor notation, hydrostatics and stresses in fluid, and Eularian and Lagrangian coordinate systems. Develop conservation of mass, momentum, and energy equations and examine their properties. Analyze boundary layer flows, potential flows, and introduce transition to turbulence and turbulence flows.
