Engineering

The topics covered on this course include dimensional analysis, the mass-conservation and momentum-balance principles applied to a fluid particle, the differential form of the governing equations (Navier-Stokes), compressible flows (speed of sound, Mach cone, isentropic-flow relations and converging-diverging nozzles), as well as incompressible flows with exact (Couette-Poiseuille flows) and approximate (boundary layers, Blasius solution, lubrication) solutions, and an introduction to turbulence.

The aim of the course is to treat some basic parts of discrete mathematics, of importance in computer science, information theory, signal processing, physics and many other subjects in technology and science. The aim is also to develop the students' ability to solve problems and to assimilate mathematical text. The course should also provide general mathematical education.

The course studies various flow phenomena of both fundamental and technical importance. Students acquire knowledge about classical and modern techniques for the study and analysis of technical fluid mechanical problems. Part A examines the history and scope of fluid mechanics, integral relations for a control volume, differential relations for a fluid particle, viscous flow in ducts, introduction to turbulence, boundary-layer flows, and flow around slender and bluff bodies. Part B studies incompressible inviscid flow, aerodynamic theory, compressible flow, and open-channel flow.

This research internship program offers selected students the opportunity to participate in research projects or work as an intern in research centers or organizations at Yonsei University. Students are expected to participate in research projects for approximately 20 hours per week throughout the program. Projects will vary depending on placement. Graded Pass/No pass only.
