Supervisor: doc. Ing. Simona Fialová, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: English
Aims of the course unit:
To extend the knowledge gained in the basic course of hydromechanics. Learn how to work with different notation of basic equations describing fluid flow and to use them in solving suitably chosen exercises. To deepen knowledge of interconnection of mathematical description of physical processes connected with fluid flow.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The knowledge of applied hydrodynamics and the basic hydraulic elements and mechanisms principle
Prerequisites:
Basics in hydrodynamics, thermo mechanics and the body dynamics
Course contents:
The aim of the course is to present the basic properties of fluids and flow and their usage in different industrial and agricultural applications.
Basic equations of hydrodynamics are the starting point for the analysis and description of principles of hydraulic and pneumatic elements, machines and mechanisms.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Credit and Examination (written exam), ECTS evaluation
Controlled participation in lessons:
Seminars and written tasks on the excercises
