Description

This course aims at developing an understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying friction effects in a fluid flow and at introducing some basic tools to calculate/estimate the consequences of viscosity in a fluid. The following topics will be treated: laminar and turbulent boundary layers; viscous flows in pipes; different forms of drag on immersed bodies; flow separation.
