Fluid Mechanics
This is an introduction to the basic phenomena and principles of fluid mechanics with petroleum engineering applications. The course covers fluid statics, conservation of mass, momentum and energy. Emphasis is on the quantitative analysis of velocities, pressures, shear stresses, and flow forces. The application of basic fluid mechanics concepts to the analysis of mud flow, and two-phase flow in pipes and annuli is stressed.
