Teaching
Fluids and Environments (ME422; 2019
Spring; Syllabus)
Overview
This class covers various examples of environmental fluids, such as small
scale fluids in a coffee cup, turbulence in van Gough's Starry Night, and
vortex shedding in a bridge, along with relevant background physics and
applications. Note that ME221 or an undergraduate-level Fluid Mechanics class
can be a prerequisite course. Copied homework assignments and exams will be not
evaluated.
