In the context of coastal environment and urban safety, this course introduces the fundamentals and topics of fluid mechanics. In addition, analytical and numerical methods for predicting flood hazards will be introduced.

CILO-1: Apply knowledge about the fluid mechanics including hydrostatics, problems of inviscid flows, viscous and turbulent flows, and boundary layer theory to solve hydrodynamic problems. CILO-2: Identify the relevant fields of this knowledge in technical problems and solve them by using the methods taught, such as to predict floods under given scenarios. CILO-3: Quantify the key parameters associated with governing equations and empirical relations, and apply the knowledge to propose flood mitigation strategy.
