General description
This module introduces and develops the basic concepts of Classical Hydrodynamics and provides a framework for a modern appreciation of Fliud Mechanics.

Aims
To provide the basic framework for a modern appreciation of Fluid Dynamics. To introduce the basic concepts of Classical Hydrodynamics. To explain how mathematical modelling of fluid motion can help in the understanding of certain real world phenomena such as metereology and aerodynamics.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, a student should be able to:

• derive the equations of an ideal fluid;
• explain the notions of local and convected rates of change;
• explain the Principle of Conservation of Mass for a continuous fluid, derive its mathematical formulation and apply it to particular situations.

Syllabus
1. Basic concepts.
2. Eulerian and Lagrangian referee systems.
3. Primitive concepts -- acceleration, pressure, density velocity.
4. Basic equations of fluid motion.
5. Foundations of classical hydrodynamics.
