This course in hydrodynamics explores the principles, theories, and applications of fluid dynamics with an emphasis on its relevance to chemical, biotechnological, and biomedical applications. The course covers the behaviour of fluids under various conditions and introduces students to measurement techniques and modelling approaches for analysing fluid behaviour. Throughout the course, students will learn the fundamental principles and theories of fluid dynamics, including fluid properties, kinematics of fluid motion, conservation laws, and boundary layer theory. They will also study topics such as laminar and turbulent flow. Upon completion of this course, students will have a strong foundation in fluid dynamics and will be able to apply this knowledge to real-world problems in the chemical industry, biotechnology, and biomedical applications. They will also be able to critically evaluate current research and literature in the field and contribute to a deeper understanding of fluid dynamics in these areas. 1. Fluid properties: advanced concepts of density, viscosity, surface tension, and other fluid properties that affect fluid behaviour and its interactions with other materials. 2. Kinematics of fluid motion: velocity and acceleration, Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of fluid motion kinematics. 3. Conservation laws - mass, energy, momentum: diffusion and convection, heat and mass transfer, momentum transfer. 4. Laminar and turbulent flow: Differences between laminar and turbulent flow, flow patterns in laminar and turbulent flow, Reynolds number, and critical transition. 5.
