Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

Implement an engineering approach dealing with a set problem taking into account technical, economic and environmental constraints

Identify and acquire the information and skills needed to solve the problem

Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in science and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Identify, describe and explain basic scientific and mathematical principles
Select and rigorously apply knowledge, tools and methods in sciences and engineering to solve problems involving these disciplines

Communicate in a structured way - both orally and in writing, in French and English - giving clear, accurate, reasoned information

Give an effective oral presentation, using presentation materials appropriately

Demonstrate thoroughness and independence throughout their studies

Demonstrate self-awareness, asses themself, and develop appropriate learning strategies.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Fondamental Fluid Mechanics: Identify the basic principles governing the behaviour of fluid flows and to treat the most common industrial applications. Establish and interpret the fundamental fluid dynamics laws; Demonstrate a physical understanding and develop an analytical mind with regard to the static, kinematic and dynamic behaviour of fluids. Identify the laws to apply for a problem while knowing the assumptions, approximations, their scope and limitations. Apply the rules and the constraints of similarity. Identify and understand the structure of flow phenomena.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Fondamental Fluid Mechanics: Continuum approach; Statics, Kinematics and dynamics laws; Non viscous fluids (Bernoulli's theorem, 2D incompressible and irrotational flows); Newtonian fluids; Navier-Stokes; Balance of momentum on control volumes; Similitude; dimensional analysis and modeling; Turbulence; Reynolds averaged equations; Creeping flows; Boundary layer; Flows around immersed bodies (drag, lift); Viscous flows in pipes (friction and local losses, Moody, cavitation, network of pipes).

Prior Experience

Rational mechanics (fundamentals of statics, kinematics and dynamics of discrete systems); vector calculus (vector manipulation, 2nd order tensor, tensor-vector product, gradient, divergence, curl, potential, Laplacian), mathematics and elements of integral and differential calculus (Ostrogradsky and Stokes); thermodynamics (thermodynamic variables, basic relations, state equations); general physics ( gravitation, work and energy, dynamics of a particle, 1st and 2nd laws of Newton)

I-FLMA-001	The exam is oral (questionnaires with prior preparation of the answers followed by an oral interaction with the teacher) and takes place over half a day during the session. The material to be known corresponds to the one seen during the course and the exercise sessions, and whose framework is found in the copy of the course (transparencies in the form of a syllabus made available to students) and exercises notes. The exam is carried out in a "closed book" (WITHOUT the help of any note such as handwritten notes, syllabus, ... or any other medium such as PC, Smart Phone, Tablet, ...). Only a version of the document entitled " Aide-mémoire pour l'examen " available on Moodle, will be made available to students by the examiners. To assess the degree of assimilation and mastery of the subject (and not a pure memory restitution of relationships learned by heart), the exam includes two questions drawn at random: A general question of theory for 50% of the final grade and an application question in the form of an exercise for the other 50% of the final grade. The answer to these questions is successively prepared on the board and then presented orally by the student. The time spent by the student for the preparation and the presentation is normally about 2 hours (including 70 minutes of preparation). The theory question is a synthesis question that relates to one of the fundamental chapters of the course. The purpose of the theory questionnaire is to assess the degree of assimilation and mastery of the subject. On a theme, it contains open sub-points/sub-questions guiding the student in terms of expectations on this theme. Open-ended questions are essentially based on the understanding of the subject and on the student's ability to provide an answer where the emphasis is on the assimilation of concepts, reasoning, logic, the physical interpretation, common sense and justification of the relationships and physical behaviours presented (and not simply a restitution of relationships, sentences, diagrams or diagrams from the notes). An oral interaction with the teacher aim to probe the student's ability: * To justify and/or supplement the responses prepared in writing to this questionnaire. * To be able to provide answers to one or another question of an impromptu nature on other elements of the course. The exercise question asks for the principles for solving an application. It is similar to those available in the collection of detailed exercises made available to students and requires the use of a resolution procedure similar to the questions resolved during the exercise sessions. The evaluation is essentially based on the resolution methodology and the justifications, by placing the numerical values of a numerical calculation in the background. The reasoning, the chaining of relationships and the justification of the hypotheses used therefore constitute an essential part and, as such, must be explicit. Consequently, your answer must include the intermediate and final expressions, the conditions to be respected, all the diagrams, flow charts, equations, graphs and/or drawings necessary for the understanding of the method of resolution. In the answers, it is asked: - To clearly give the principles from which to start, the path, the assumptions, and simplifications (with justification) which lead to providing the final expression which would make it possible to determine the value requested according to the data of the exercise. - In the final expression, to clearly show, explicitly, how the various terms could be calculated according to the data of the exercise and, if necessary, the conditions to be respected. - If a quantity estimated as necessary is not provided, to propose a value that seems appropriate. The oral interaction with the teacher aims to probe the student's ability to justify and/or complete the answers prepared iby the student.
