After passing this module the student;
- has obtained knowledge of basic fluid physics concepts, such as viscosity, surface tension, vapor pressure, hydrostatics, pressure gauges, Bernoulli's law, kinematics and Reynolds transport theorem, control volumes and conservation laws, Navier-Stokes equations and potential flow, sources, vortices and sinks, dimensional analysis, pipe flow, flow over immersed bodies, boundary layers, open-channel flow and waves,
- is able to apply above mentioned knowledge to solve simple fluid physics problems,
- is able to use dimensional analysis in connection to above knowledge to acquire insight into the behavior of more complex fluid dynamical systems and to reduce those to simpler and solvable problems,
- is able to address and answer a simple experimental by means of conducting a prescribed experiment,
- to address and investigate an open experimental setting by performing self-conceived or self-chosen experiments and to draw meaningful conclusions on the basis of those experiments about the behavior of the fluid dynamical system that was explored.

In fluid physics, the statics and (especially!) dynamics of flowing matter such as gases and liquids are described by means of the density field, flow field, and temperature field. As such, the physics of fluids are described as a classical field theory which, just like electrodynamics, is a prime example of a continuum dynamics theory. The course consists of a theoretical part, in which the basic concepts of fluid physics theory are covered and in which you learn to solve simple problems involving fluids. For more complex situations you will learn powerful tools to obtain physical insight with which they can be reduced to more manageable, solvable ones. Theory is supplemented by an experimental part, in which you first learn to perform some basic fluid physics experiments and afterwards explore a more self-definable small research project in a team. The theoretical and experimental parts are absolved separately from each other, as detailed in the assessment plan.

| Students are expected to have experimental skills such as keeping logbooks and performing error analysis on experimental data. Furthermore students should be familiar with basic linear algebra and (vector) calculus such as solving ODE's. |
