Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

describe the fundamental concepts of continuum mechanics and, in particular, explain the difference between solids and liquids.
make use of a tensorial framework, and explain its advantages.
derive the governing equations for a Newtonian viscous fluid and solve tham exactly for some simple flows.

Brief description

This module provides an introduction to Newtonian Fluid Mechanics.
