Learning outcomes
Determine fluid forces acting on bodies exposed to a volume of static fluid, with extension to fluid undergoing rigid body motion.
Determine solutions to flow problems, with simplifications as appropriate, using a control volume approach to transport of mass and momentum.
Determine model scaling parameters for experimentation and prototype performance and present results meaningfully using dimensional analysis and modelling.
Determine lift and drag forces on bodies (including motor vehicles) subjected to fluid motion, describing the effects of boundary layer modification and flow separation.
Select suitable pumps for flow systems informed by determining flow rates and pressure drops in pipe networks under steady-state conditions for either laminar or turbulent flows.

Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 60%
Final assessment: 40%
This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
