AMATH 463 - Fluid Mechanics
This course provides a broad mathematical introduction to fluid mechanics and provides a foundation for applications such as weather and climate, oceanography, aeronautics, and astrophysics. Topics in this course include the Euler and Navier-Stokes Equations; the dynamics of vorticity; the effects of viscosity, including near solid boundaries; wave motion and dispersive waves; the effects of the Earth's rotation on flow; and an introduction to turbulence.
Prerequisites
(AMATH353 or PHYS364) and AMATH361.
