Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The course is an introduction to the basic analytic and numerical methods of Fluid Mechanics and Applied Mathematics. The objectives of the course are: Development of the theoretical background in matters relating to Fluid Mechanics. Ability of the student to apply the basic concepts of fluid mechanics. Upon completion of this course the student will be able to solve with analytical and approximate mathematical methods simple problems of Fluid Mechanics and deepen further understanding of such methods.

General Competences

The course aims to enable the undergraduate students to develop basic knowledge of Fluid Mechanics and in general of Applied Mathematics. The student will be able to cope with problems of Applied Mathematics giving the opportunity to work in an international multidisciplinary environment.
