Description
The student will gain fundamental but advanced knowledge in Environmental Fluid Mechanics, which goes beyond undergraduate level fluid mechanics. They will acquire analytical and modelling skills to carry out more advanced engineering tasks in the water, coastal, environmental engineering space. Successful completion of the module will allow students to comprehend better physical processes of Fluid Mechanics and develop problem-solving skills based on a better understanding of the physical mechanisms involved in Fluid Mechanics applications.
Learning Outcomes
- Knowledge of the differential form of the conservation of mass and momentum
- Understanding of turbulence in the environment and how it affects environmental fluid mechanics applications
- Insights into transport processes in environmental flows
- Knowledge of reservoir mechanics, stratification processes in standing water bodies, and principles of jets and plumes
- Understanding of flows in rivers and estuaries and quantification of flows in open-channels
- Basic knowledge of computational fluid dynamics
Reading List
- Imberger J. Environmental Fluid Dynamics, AP 2013
