Fluides 1

Présentation

This course aims at introducing Fluid Mechanics to non specialists, starting from classical mechanics. It establishes the equations governing homogeneous incompressible fluids (statics, kinematics, dynamics, vorticity dynamics) and solves them for steady flows, irrotational flows, viscous flows, surface waves. It gives applications to aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and hydraulics.

This course is taught in English
