Course summary: The course develops the fundamental theory of inviscid flow, and applies these concepts to two- and three-dimensional flows, complex-potential, vortex dynamics, and free-surface water waves. Particular emphasis is placed on connecting the mathematical formulation with physical phenomena and engineering applications. The course concludes by examining the limitations of inviscid-flow models enabling students to understand both the usefulness and limitations of ideal-fluid theory in real engineering flows.
The course is divided into five modules:
A. Foundation: Governing Equations and Kinematics
B. Vorticity and Circulation
C. Potential flow and complex potential
D. Free surface flow and water waves
E. Applications, limitations and extensions of Inviscid flow.

Course summary: Mathematical framework and varied concepts required for describing fluid motion and the differential forms of the governing conservation equations | Introduction to flows where viscous forces and compressibility effects are negligible | Concepts surrounding external flows, highlighting how localized viscous effects within thin boundary regions govern and alter the large-scale fluid behavior | The behavior of high-speed flows where density variations (hence, the effect of compressibility) are significant, covering fundamental relations, nozzle applications, and shock phenomena | Survey of chaotic flows, and the subtleties of the physics of fluids at small scale.

Course summary: Covers the fundamental principles of convection and phase-change heat transfer processes, emphasizing the physical mechanisms within the boundary layers. Utilizing dimensionless similarity parameters, mothods to analyse forced and natural convection, as well as boiling and condensation are introduced. These principles are directly applied to the systematic design and performance evaluation of industrial heat exchangers. Ultimately, the course highlights the mathematical and physical analogies between heat and mass transfer processes.
