Fluid Mechanics 1st year
[As you know, these laboratory sessions are compulsory course-work. You must attend them. Should you fail to attend either one you will be asked to complete some extra work. This will involve a detailed report and further questions. The simplest strategy is to do the lab.]
Notes For the First Year Lecture Course:
An Introduction to Fluid Mechanics
School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds.
Homework:
Example sheets: These will be given for each section of the course. Doing these will greatly improve your exam mark. They are course work but do not have credits toward the module.
Lecture notes: Theses should be studied but explain only the basic outline of the necessary concepts and ideas.
Books: It is very important do some extra reading in this subject. To do the examples you will definitely need a textbook. Any one of those identified below is adequate and will also be useful for the fluids (and other) modules in higher years - and in work.

0.1
Objectives:
Example classes:
There will be example classes each week. You may bring any problems/questions you have about the course and example sheets to these classes.
The course will introduce fluid mechanics and establish its relevance in civil engineering. Develop the fundamental principles underlying the subject.
Demonstrate how these are used for the design of simple hydraulic components.

Lectures:
20 Classes presenting the concepts, theory and application.
Worked examples will also be given to demonstrate how the theory is applied. You will be asked to do some calculations - so bring a calculator.
