The course is the first of two fluid mechanics courses that are taught concurrently in a single semester. Students take Fluid Mechanics I and then either Fluid Mechanics II (Technique and Examples) or II (Higher Flow Level). This course discusses the fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics including hydrostatic and kinematic behavior of fluids, differential and integral laws of conservation, laminar and turbulent flow, and the theory behind fluid dynamics. The course consists of two hour lectures which review the course concepts, and two hour seminars in which students solve problems.
