Description

Introduction to Fluid Mechanics for Engineering Students is a clear, practical undergraduate course that builds a strong foundation in fluid behavior, analysis, and engineering applications. Across 16 lectures (16+ hours), you’ll move from core principles to real-world problem solving using intuitive explanations, worked examples, and step-by-step demonstrations.

What you’ll learn

  • Fundamentals: properties of fluids, pressure, density, viscosity

  • Fluid statics: hydrostatic forces, buoyancy, manometry

  • Fluid kinematics: flow descriptions, streamlines, material vs. control volumes

  • Fluid dynamics: continuity, momentum (Navier–Stokes basics), energy (Bernoulli)

  • Internal flows: pipe flow, laminar vs. turbulent regimes, friction losses, Moody chart

  • External flows: flow around bodies, lift and drag basics, boundary layers

  • Dimensional analysis & similitude: Reynolds number, scale modeling

  • Practical skills: problem setup, unit conversions, engineering estimations, worked numerical problems

Who this course is for

  • Undergraduate engineering students (mechanical, civil, aerospace, chemical) taking an introductory fluids course

  • Self-learners preparing for exams or needing a practical refresher for projects and labs

Why take this course

  • Focused, example-driven instruction that links theory to engineering practice

  • Clear problem-solving strategies and multiple worked examples per topic

  • Concise lectures designed to build intuition and exam-ready skills

Course format

  • 16 lectures, 16+ hours of video

  • Worked examples, conceptual explanations, and engineering tips throughout

  • Downloadable notes and problem sets for practice

By the end of this course you’ll be able to analyze common fluid mechanics problems, apply core equations with confidence, and interpret results for engineering decisions.
