Credit (SKS): 3

Semester: III

Lecturers: Dr. Ir. I Ketut Suastika, M.Sc.

Teguh Putranto, ST., MT.

Objectives: • Students understand fluid properties, the difference between fluids and solids,
concept of viscosity, classification of fluid flows;

• Students understand the concept of hydrostatics and are able to apply it to

calculate forces working on submerged surfaces;

• Students understand basic concepts of fluid kinematics: acceleration in fluid

flows, stream function, continuity equation;
• Students understand basic concepts of fluid dynamics: forces working on fluid
flows, Euler's equation, Bernoulli's equation and are able to apply them to solve
practical problems; Introduction to Navier-Stokes equation.

• Students understand the concept of dimensional analysis and similitude and are
able to apply it to solve practical problems (laboratory experiments: towing test).
Evaluations: Home work, Quis, Mid semester test (UTS), End semester test (UAS)
