Overview: This course will provide an introduction to fluid dynamics, the study of fluids (liquids and gasses) at rest or in motion and the effects of the fluid at its boundaries (solid surfaces or other liquids). At the end of the semester, the basic conservation laws of fluid dynamics and their application to various problems will have been covered. A heavy emphasis will be placed on the methods used to solve fluid mechanics problems.

Homework will not be handed out in class, but you will be told when it is available on the web page.
Homework: Homework due dates will be specified at the time of the assignment. Typically, it will be one week after the assignment. These due dates are firm, so plan ahead. The penalty is 10% for each day past the deadline (i.e. 3 days late and the highest score you could obtain would be 0.7 * 100% = 70%). Once solution sets are posted (typically 3-5 days after the homework has been handed in), no credit will be given.
Although working on homework in groups is permitted, homeworks are expected to be the work of each individual. Any sign of copied work will result in dividing the grade by the number of copies found (i.e. 3 people found to be submitting the same work would each get 1/3 of the grade). The homework is intended to promote problem-solving skills, and the ability to complete the homeworks should be an indication that an individual will perform well on the tests given.
Solutions that require the use of the computer will be given. All graphs should be computer generated unless stated otherwise. The exact software used to perform these solutions is not mandated, but the inability of a given software package to complete the tasks assigned will not be a sufficient excuse for not completing the problems. Plan ahead.
Reading Assignments: Reading assignments are given in the course outline. Homework assignments and exams may contain material from both the lecture and reading material.
Exams: The details of a particular test (open/closed book, etc.) will be given before each test. Attendance at test is mandatory unless arrangements have been made beforehand. A written excuse will be necessary for rescheduling an exam.
Attendance: Attendance in class is the responsibility of the student. If class is missed, you are responsible for obtaining the notes from another student or from the class notes posted on the web.
Review Session: Review Sessions will be held prior to all tests. These review sessions will last 1 hour and will be held at a time convenient to most people. Attendance is voluntary.
