Fluid mechanics and heat transfer

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

Acquire the basics of physical modeling of problems arising from heat transfer and learn how to solve some classic problems. Learn how to critically analyze the results obtained.

Have completed a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and, in particular, a course in MMC.

The course is divided, in a very traditional way, into two parts:

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

Some 3D analytical solutions: Couette, Poiseuille.
