At the end of the course students should be able to
- Develop basic equations of fluid flow through vector/tensor operations
- Obtain general solutions for creeping flows via eigenfunction expansions
- Apply regular and singular perturbations for pulsatile flow
- Solve steady shear flow problems involving non-Newtonian fluids through generalized Newtonian model
- Use linear viscoelastic constitutive models and interpret their physical significance for material characterization
- Apply nonlinear viscoelastic models to obtain relations for material functions
