Learning outcomes: Knowledge Student knows physical properties of liquids and gases, knows principles of static effect of liquid on flat and curved surfaces, floating and submerged; has knowledge of the description of phenomena and laws governing with fluid flow; knows principles of dynamic interaction between liquid and surrounding walls (surfaces); knows the principles of modeling in fluid mechanics; has knowledge about gas flow in engineering devices; he knows the basics of solids in liquids movement and flow of mixtures consisting of liquids and solids. Skills Student can calculate the static and dynamic forces acting on the liquid boundary surfaces at rest and in motion; can perform hydraulic calculations sizing pipes and canals and water structures; can determine the flow of gas through the holes and nozzles; can design the most important parameters of mixtures flow in pipelines.
Competences: Knowledge of the basic laws describing the motion of liquids and gases let student take correct decisions in critical situations resulting from analysis based on the knowledge of these phenomena.
