Fluid Engineering (FSI-9FLI)

Academic year 2021/2022
Supervisor: doc. Ing. Simona Fialová, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech or English
Aims of the course unit:
Knowledge of the fluid flow and its interaction with rigid body applied to the design of hydraulic elements and mechanisms.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students should carry out qualitative analysis of fluid flow and use it for design of fundamentally new systems which exploit the properties of fluid-structure interaction.
Prerequisites:
Mechanics of rigid and elastic bodies.
Hydromechanics.
Differential and integral calculus.
Course contents:
The course is focused on problems of theoretical and applied hydromechanics concerning the edsign of hydraulic machines and elements.
Basic equations of fluid mechanics are derived using the tensorial calculus. These equations are then applied to find new principles of hydraulic machines and elements.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Written exam covering all lectures. Possible oral exam.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Form of seminars, consultations.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  10 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
Course curriculum:
    Lecture 1. Concept of macroscopic element. Equation of motion of the macroscopic element.
2. Conservation of mass. Eulerian and Lagrangien view of the motion.
3. Bernoulli equation, dissipation function, cavitation, useful work done by viscous forces. Principle of disc pump.
4. Bernoulli equation in rotating channel. Principle of centrifugal pump.
5. Force acting on a desk in rest and rigid element circumflowed by fluid. Application to jets.
6. Principle of Pelton turbine.
7. Compressibility of liquid, conservation of mass applied to jet pump.
8. Wave equation, water hammer, application to hydraulic ram and to steady flow rate measurement.
9. Sound wave spreading in fluids.
10. Eigen and self excited oscillations in the rigid or elastic tubes.
