Course Objectives

Broadly, the objective of this class is to introduce basic Fluid Mechanics concepts to the students of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering. The content of the course covers properties of fluids, fluid statics and kinematics of fluid motion, differences between ideal fluid flow and real fluid flow. The course content is given in the context of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering including both compressible and incompressible flows. Fundamental knowledge on fluid statics is expected to help students in reservoir engineering related classes in the future. While the pipe flow concepts given in this course has a major part in design of oil pipelines. Therefore, students are expected to gain fundamental knowledge of fluid statics and hydromechanics at the end of the semester, which will help them tremendously in their future studies and their engineering life.
