Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Continuous media and stress tensors. Kinematics of continuous media (Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions, deformations). Thermomechanics of continuous media : conservation of mass, of linear and angular momentum, of energy, constitutive equations. Linear elasticity. Perfect fluid. Viscous fluid. Problems : flows round obstacles, thermo-convection, waves in continuous media, instabilities and self-organization, heat and momentum diffusion,...
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, the student will know and understand the fundamental laws of irreversible thermodynamics and will be able to use them in elementary applications.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Students are assumed to be familiar with Newtonian Mechanics of particles and of systems of particles.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The theoretical part of the course is presented as lectures (30h). In case of a small audience, lectures are replaced by a tutorship that consists in discussions between the sudents and the instructor. Exercices are also proposed to solve problems (10h).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
