Course Description:	This course is designed to present the fundamental laws relating to the static and dynamic behavior of fluids and their application to engineering problems. Fluid statics, Kinematics: continuity equation, stream function, irrotational flow velocity potential. Fluid dynamics: flow of viscous fluids. Newtonian fluids, simple laminar flow systems, turbulence, flow in pipes. The emphasis is placed on applications dealing with the flow of water and other incompressible fluids.
Course Objectives:	Students should have the basic understanding of fundamental property of fluids and flow types; forces, motions, energy, mass, momentum and energy and hydrostatics. • Students will be introduced to the governing equations and dimensional analysis. Discussion of pipe flow, resistance and pumps. • The students should be able to solve basic problems using these principles.
