CIE 546LEC - Env Fluid Mechanics

The basic equations of unsteady fluid flow are developed in the course including continuity, Navier-Stokes equations, and conservation of energy. Transport processes, including molecular and turbulent diffusion of mass, momentum and heat, dispersion in open channel flow are discussed. The advection-diffusion equation is derived for mass conservation of a tracer in natural surface water and atmospheric systems, and specific analytical solutions are discussed for ideal pollutant sources. Jet and plume modeling, sediment transport, stratified flow and other selected topics are presented.
