Unit 13
Fluid Motion
This course addresses properties of fluids in motion. The first section covers the interaction of solids with liquids and gases. The most important of these are buoyancy, drag and lift. Buoyancy is at work even when stationary. Drag and lift, however, are both related to movement. Students will also explore the concept of thrust. The first section concludes with a discussion of types of flow. Students will explore how and laminar flow and turbulent flow interact with various forces.
The second half of the course deals with applications of fluid motion. Students will study how principles work in real-world situations. This includes the aerodynamics of aircraft and spacecraft. This portion of the class will make use of computer models. In addition the class will have access to the school's wind tunnel. The final project will examine how air affects various objects.
