Fluid Dynamics

Example of a non-Newtonian fluid (shear thickening). Notice when the guy that does the back flip stops moving, he sinks!
Course Description: Fluid-flow concepts are presented through the derivation and application of the basic equations of continuity, energy, and momentum. Engineering aspects of flow measurement, pressure-drop calculations, and pumping requirements are considered.
