Course
Objectives
This
course is an introduction to the subject of fluid mechanics. It
includes the following topics: fundamental concepts, fluid
statics, conservation laws, incompressible inviscid flows,
Dimensional and similarity analysis, internal incompressible
viscid flows, introduction to boundary layers, and lift and
drag. While covering the basics and fundamentals of fluid
mechanics, the emphasis in this course will be on using those
basic principles to analyze various engineering systems.

EVALUATION
The following distribution of marks will be used,
unless there is a valid and compelling reason to use an
alternative weighting scheme. Missed assignments, quizzes, and
tests will have a grade of zero entered without legitimate and
documented reason.
Two term tests 40%
(20% each)
Quizzes
10%
Final exam 50%
Note
The weight of any missed work that has been properly reported
through MSAF will be automatically added to the weight of the
final
examination.
TERM TESTS
There will be two, closed book, term tests on Thursday October
10 and
Thursday November 7. Check locations on the "Term
Tests Web Page". Students arriving
after 20 minutes from the start of the test will not be allowed
to write the test. An equation sheet will be
included with each test, a copy of which is posted.
Here.
It is recommended that you write your answer during the
term tests
in PEN. However, if pencil is used, you
will not be able to discuss your mark.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Practicing
questions will be assigned,
roughly,
every week.
Students are strongly encouraged to solve these problems to
prepare for the two term tests and final examination.
QUIZZES:
Quizzes will be provided during tutorials,
roughly every two weeks.
Please review
quizzes timetable and guidelines provided on the "Assignments"
web page.
FINAL EXAMINATION
The final exam is a closed-book exam that covers all
course
material. An
equation sheet will be included with the exam, a copy of which
is posted.

CALCULATOR USE
Only a Casio FX-991 MS or MS+ calculator is allowed
on tests and the final exam
Use of Laptops,
Tables,
Cell Phones, and the like: Not allowed
during lectures, tutorials, and exams.
Policy Reminders
You are expected to exhibit honesty and use ethical behaviour in
all aspects of the learning process. Academic credentials you
earn are rooted in principles of honesty and academic integrity.
Academic dishonesty is to knowingly act or fail to act in a way
that results or could result in unearned academic credit or
advantage. This behaviour can result in serious consequences,
e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a
notation on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F assigned
for academic dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from
the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes
academic dishonesty. For information on the various types of
academic dishonesty please refer to the
Academic Integrity Policy
(https://www.mcmaster.ca/policy/Students-AcademicStudies/AcademicIntegrity.pdf),
located at
www.mcmaster.ca/academicintegrity.
The
following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
• Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one’s own
or for which other credit has been obtained.
• Improper collaboration in group work.
• Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and
examinations.
