Description

This 42-hour course is divided into two parts (1/3, 2/3) to give the basics of heat transfer and fluid mechanics (3D). Fluids will be considered as continuous media. A particle is an element of volume infinitesimally small for mathematical description, but large enough relative to molecules to be described by continuous functions. This course extends the L3 course on modeling elastic media, as well as the 1D fluid mechanics course.

Syllabus

: The course is divided, in the classic way, into two parts:

  1. Heat equations. Fourier's laws. Conduction. Convection. Fin approximation.
  2. General information on fluids: conservation laws, behavior laws. Perfect fluids. Newtonian fluids. Navier Stockes equations. Reynolds number. 

. Some 3D analytical solutions: Couette, Poiseuille.
