Course Code: MTH 557

Course Name: Dynamical Aspects of Fluid Flows


Credits: 04
Course Instructor: Dr. Pankaj Kumar S/O Krishan Singh

Credits Equivalent: (One credit is equivalent to 10 hours of lectures / organized classroom


activity / contact hours; 5 hours of laboratory work / practical / field work / Tutorial / teacher-led
activity and 15 hours of other workload such as independent individual/ group work; obligatory/
optional work placement; literature survey/ library work; data collection/ field work; writing of
papers/ projects/dissertation/thesis; seminars, etc.)

Course Objective: The main purpose of this course is to acquaint the students with the
fundamental concepts fluid dynamics and enable them to search the gaps in the literature related
to fluid flow patterns.

Course Outcomes: After completing the course satisfactorily, a student will be able:

CO1: To identify the key fluid properties used in the analysis of fluid behavior.

CO2: To apply the Reynolds transport theorem.


CO3: To apply conservation of mass and energy and Newton’s second law of motion to the contents of a
finite control volume to get important answers.
CO4: To analyze certain types of flows using the Navier–Stokes equations.

CO5: To develop a set of dimensionless variables for a given flow situation.

Attendance Requirements: Students are expected to attend all lectures in order to be able to fully
benefit from the course. A minimum of 75% attendance is a must failing which a student may not
be permitted to appear in examination.

Evaluation Criteria:

1. Mid Term Examination:20%

2. End Term Examination:60%

3. Continuous Internal Assessment: 20%. i.e. 20 marks out of 200
