TEXT The only required text for the class is Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics (6th ed.) by Munson, Young, Okiishi, Huebsch. Other recommended supporting material includes: wikipedia; youtube; MIT OpenCourseWare; Physical Fluid Mechanics by Tritton, a math-less treatment of fluid mechanics; Comparative biomechanics by Vogel, a discussion of zoological fluid mechanics; On size and life by McMahon and Bonner, a beautiful collection of scaling arguments PREREQUISITES Mathematics: multivariable calculus, differential equations (ordinary and partial); Engineering: statics (free-body diagrams), Mechanics (Forces and movements; equilibrium; stress and strain), Dynamics/ Dynamics of rigid bodies (Center of mass motion, kinematics and kinetics, energy and momentum), Thermodynamics (Energy and mass conservation) CALCULATORS No calculators will be allowed during the exams, during which answers may be left in symbolic form (e.g., /4). I recommend you also use symbolic form in homework, substituting in numbers ONLY at the end of each problem. GRADING There will be two midterm tests and one final exam. Midterms will be during class hours; final exam location and time will be announced. Homework will be assigned every Friday, to be collected at the beginning of class on the following Friday. Homework will not be accepted after class begins. The grading structure will be: Homework: 30% Two Midterm Exams: 40% Final Exam : 30% Homework represents your work. Collaboration on homework is encouraged, but the write-up must be done alone. If you work in a group, acknowledge your collaborators (fellow students, tutors, illegitimate sources) by citing their names below yours. ATTENDANCE You are responsible for knowing lecture material as we cover it. Requests for copies of lecture notes will be routinely denied. Class attendance is highly recommended, as is reading the chapters before class. FREE HELP Free help with fluid mechanics is available through Shell tutoring in the MRDC building (Google shell tutoring; the schedule will be available starting 3rd week of class). GaTech also offers 1-to-1 tutoring. The ME undergrad advisor, kristi.mehaffey@me.gatech.edu can suggest private paid tutors (e.g., grad students).
