Fluids 1
(fall 1999)

This is the first course of a two-part series, which studies the conservation equations of dynamic fluid systems with emphasis on integral methods. Applications to flow analysis of thermal hydraulic systems. Part two of the course focuses on the analysis of viscous flow systems and the Dynamics and thermodynamics of compressible fluid flow.

Course Policy Professor: Greg Sawyer Office: 309 NSC Telephone: (352) 392-8488 E-Mail: wgsawyer@ufl.edu Office Hours: M,W 8AM-10AM, Tues 4PM-6PM Class Hours: M,W,F 11:45AM-12:35PM Homework Eight homework sets will be assigned and graded. At least one week is given for the completion of a homework set. The purpose of the homework is to aid in learning the material. To this end some collaboration among students in preparing the homework is acceptable. However, in the main, the work should be primarily yours. In an effort to increase the value of the homework, solutions will be posted on the internet the day after it is due and discussed in the next available class period. Because of this tight timeline, late homework will not be accepted. Exams There will be two tests, a midterm and a final examination; these tests are open notes closed text. Grading Homework is 25%, the midterm exam is 35%, and the final exam is 40%. Attendance and Class Participation I consider attendance mandatory, and good class participation will be given consideration during the determining of final grades. Academic Integrity Following the recommendation of the Dean of Students, I include a statement on this topic. As is understood by the vast majority of students, our basic relationship is based on trust; I've only rarely seen problems in this area. Please familiarize yourself with the Student Guide, the honor code, and the implied pledge - which accompanies all work submitted for credit.
