This course outline provides an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), focusing on the fundamental concepts and equations governing fluid motion. Key topics include the momentum equation, the Navier-Stokes equations, material derivatives, the Del operator, and the Laplacian operator. Special cases of fluid dynamics such as Euler's equation and low Reynolds number flow are discussed. The material is designed for students interested in fluid mechanics and numerical simulations, providing foundational knowledge for further study in CFD applications.

Momentum equation • Newtonian Fluid: Navier-Stokes Equations - material derivative - Del operator - Laplacian operator
Momentum equation • Special Case: 0 - Euler’s equation - material derivative - Del operator
Momentum equation • Special Case: Re << 1, stationary flow • Low Reynolds number flow • (creeping flow, Stokes flow)
