OCP 6255 Fluid Dynamics


Credit Hours: 3

This course starts with what we call laminar flow in an unstratified, non-rotating fluid, where molecular viscosity is dominant and turbulence can be ignored. We will then study the transition to turbulent flow and will end up with an introduction to geophysical fluid dynamics, which is when stratification and rotation are dominant.
