Learning unit contents
The course is organized in three chapters.
Chapter 1 : Fluid statics
Basics, Pascal and Archimedes principles, application to the troposphere.
Chapter 2 : Fluid dynamics
Ideal fluids : continuity equation, Bernoulli equation and applications, Viscous fluids : viscosity, Stokes law, Poiseuille law, Bernoulli - Poiseuille law, Reynolds number.
Chapter 3 : Radiometry (Photometry)
Wave and corpuscular Theories, variables and units, black-body radiation, radiation interception, absorption by a continuous medium.
The exercices part (B. Mercatoris) is composed of 5 seances of 3h. Four of them are related to fluid mechanics problems and one is devoted to photometry exercices.
