This presentation at Columbia High School delves into the fundamental concepts of fluids in engineering, including definitions, Bernoulli's equation, aerodynamics, modeling fluids, and dimensional analysis. Learn about the properties of liquids, gases, and granular materials, and the interplay of inertial and viscous forces in fluid systems.

What is a fluid? • Simply put…something that flows. • Liquid • Gas • Granular Material
Bernoulli’s Equation Constant
Bernoulli’s Equation Constant
Aerodynamics WING Constant
How can we model a fluid? Consider: f (P,V,ρ,L,μ) Note: μ is the fluid viscosity (thickness)
Dimensional Analysis Inertial Forces = Viscous Forces
