This unit of study aims to cover applied concepts in fluid dynamics, focusing particularly on turbulent flows, optical and laser based experimentation, and fluid dynamics in the context of engineering design. A practical project component will give students the opportunity to work on a topical fluid dynamics issue being faced today by fluids engineers. Specific content to be covered through lectures and tutorials will be: unstable and turbulent flows, Reynolds decomposition, laser-based fluid flow measurement, and concepts such as multiphase flows, environmental flows, and/or biomedical flows.
