Hydrodynamics JEE337
Introduction
Hydrodynamics (JEE3337) covers the development of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and introduces the student to the application of analytical methods for the analysis of fluid flows, particularly in the context of naval architecture. In addition to the theoretical understanding gained, the student will also develop his/her analysis and evaluation skills in the examination of practical flows.
The course lays a foundation for the more detailed analysis of applied marine hydrodynamics problems in areas such as propulsion, manoeuvring, resistance and seakeeping.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
Unit census dates currently displaying for 2022 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2022 will be available from the 1st October 2021. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the fundamental principles of the motion of ideal (inviscid) and real (viscous) fluid flows.
- Apply analytical concepts to analyse a range of two-dimensional engineering fluid flows, with appropriate choice of simplifying assumptions and boundary conditions.
- Investigate the physics/dynamics of a particular fluid flow giving a critical evaluation of the effect of significant flow and geometric parameters applying both hydrodynamic theory and knowledge from other disciples relevant to the problem.
- Appraise fluid flow modelling techniques as to the underlying theory and associated simplifying assumptions upon which they are based and the appropriateness/suitability/limitations to the analysis of particular flows.
