CE 6480 - Environmental Fluid Mechanics

Institution:
Clemson University
Subject:
Civil Engineering
Description:
This course provides an overview of environmental fluid mechanics and the role of fluid flows in pollutant transport in natural systems. Environmental flows covered include momentum driven flows (e.g. turbulent jets), buoyancy driven flows (e.g. smoke plumes), and advection and diffusion. The course includes several visits to the environmental fluid mechanics lab where students observe these flows at small scale. It is expected that students have a solid understanding of engineering fluid mechanics, including hydrostatics, energy and momentum, conservation of volume, and dimensional analysis, before enrolling in this course.
