Fluid Mechanics
The course is taught in spanish at the degree of Electronic Engineering (University of Zaragoza). The syllabus is presented below:
Syllabus
The course is organized in the following 6 topics:
- Tema 1: Fluidos y fluir
- Tema 2: Ecuaciones fundamentales
- Tema 3: Flujos canónicos
- Tema 4: Análisis dimensional y semejanza
- Tema 5: Instalaciones de fluidos
- Tema 6: Capa límite y aerodinámica
Labs
During the course, the students will complete 5 laboratory sessions:
- LAB1: Flow kinematics and visualization with Python
- LAB2: Analysis of a wind turbine with Python
- LAB3: Measurement of the force produced by a water jet
- LAB4: Experimental analysis of pump characteristics
- LAB5: Airfoil aerodynamics in a wind tunnel
Course Project
The course project involves the analysis using Python of some realistic application by means of a suitable model. An example below:

Jupyter Notebooks for classes
I have created Jupyter Notebooks to serve as interactive teaching materials, both during classes and for the students to work at home.
