Rayleigh's problem: velocity profile due to the impulsive motion of x-plane. (Simulation created by MATLAB®.)
Prof. Chiang Mei
Guangda Li
(Teaching Assistant)
1.63
Fall 2002
Graduate
The materials for this course are also used in an iCampus school-wide modular program on fluid mechanics at MIT.
Designed to familiarize students with theories and analytical tools useful for studying research literature, this course is a survey of fluid mechanical problems in the water environment. Because of the inherent nonlinearities in the governing equations, we shall emphasize the art of making analytical approximations not only for facilitating calculations but also for gaining deeper physical insight. The importance of scales will be discussed throughout the course in lectures and homeworks. Mathematical techniques beyond the usual preparation of first-year graduate students will be introduced as a part of the course. Topics vary from year to year.
