Program Overview

Introduction to the Module

The module "Fluid Mechanical Analysis Methods" is a 15 ECTS project module that focuses on analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis methodology for fluid flow. The module aims to provide students with knowledge and comprehension of fluid mechanical analysis methods, as well as the skills to verify analytical and numerical approaches by means of simple laboratory experiments.

Learning Objectives

The learning objectives of the module are:

• Knowledge and comprehension within analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis methodology for fluid flow
• Knowledge and comprehension within the flow around or within simplified components
• Skills to verify analytical and numerical approaches by means of simple laboratory experiments
• Skills to document the project work as a scientific paper and poster
• Competences to control the working and development process within the project theme, and to develop new solutions within fluid mechanical analysis methods
• Competences to define and analyze scientific problems within the area of fluid mechanical methods, and to make and state the reasons for decisions made

Type of Instruction

The module is taught through problem-based project-oriented project work in groups. The project should be based on a simple fluid flow problem, which should be investigated using analytical, numerical, and experimental methods. The project can be a process or a typical engineering component that involves single-phase fluid flow of a stationary or transient nature.

Extent and Expected Workload

The module is expected to require 450 hours of work for the student, as it is a 15 ECTS project module.

Exam

The exam is an oral exam based on a project, and it is assessed on a 7-point grading scale. The criteria of assessment are stated in the Examination Policies and Procedures.

Additional Information

The project documentation should include a scientific paper, a project summary report, and a project poster. The scientific paper should present the primary content and results of the project work, and it should be written in accordance with international conference standards. The project summary report should elaborate on the project details and conclusions, and it should not exceed 50 pages. The project poster should be presented at a conference arranged within the Department of Energy Technology.
