Syllabus:	Review of fundamental principles in fluid mechanics. Ideal fluid flow: stream function and velocity potential. Laplace equation: superposition, flow modelling, circulation, and lift. Viscous effects: laminar and turbulent boundary layers, transition, skin-friction drag, slender-body theory, drag coefficient, and similarity. Free-surface flows: open-channel flow, Froude number, subcritical and supercritical flows, hydraulic jump, and wave drag. Compressible flow. Mach number, adiabatic and isentropic flow, shock waves, lift, and drag.

Area External refers to external course/units run by the School or Department or offered by research.

Central External refers to external and online course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area

Partially Online Internal refers to some (a portion of) learning provided by interacting with or downloading pre-packaged material from the Internet but with regular and ongoing participation with a face-to-face component retained. Excludes partially online internal course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area which remain Central External

Fully Online refers to the main (larger portion of) mode of learning provided via Internet interaction (including the downloading of pre-packaged material on the Internet). Excludes online course/units run through the Curtin Bentley-based Distance Education Area which remain Central External
