Dr. Mohamed S. Hamed

Review of vectors, tensors, tensor notation, hydrostatics and stresses in fluid, and Eularian and Lagrangian coordinate systems. Develop conservation of mass, momentum, and energy equations and examine their properties. Analyze boundary layer flows, potential flows, and introduce transition to turbulence and turbulence flows.
