Introduction to Viscous Fluid Flow — Lesson 1

This lesson covers the advanced aspects of viscous fluid flow, a topic in fluid mechanics. It delves into the prerequisites, course outline, and the different modules that will be covered. The lesson discusses the Navier Stokes equations, exact solutions for steady one-dimensional rectilinear flows, steady axis symmetric flows, tangent one-dimensional unidirectional flow, and steady two-dimensional rectilinear flows. It also covers lubrication theory, laminar boundary layers, free shear flows, stability theory, and turbulent flows. The lesson concludes with a discussion on fluid statics, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, laminar and turbulent flows, steady and unsteady flows, and the basic equations in fluid statics.
