Course contents :
The course provides a rigorous and systematic presentation of the basic concepts and classical mathematical models used in various fields of application of Newtonian fluid mechanics. These models, and their simplified versions, are used to better understand the underlying physical processes.
The following topics are addressed:
• Kinematics of fluid flows.
• Budget equations (local and integral forms) and associated boundary conditions. Newtonian fluid and Navier-Stokes equations.
• Vorticity dynamics and potential flow.
• Similitude theory and flow regimes.
• Introduction to gas dynamics : rule of forbidden signals in supersonic flows, shock waves.
• Turbulence : characterization, RANS simulations, Taylor theory of turbulent dispersion.
• Gravity waves, capillarity waves, internal waves
Learning outcomes of the course :
At the end of the course, the student will master the basic concept of Newtonian fluid dynamics. He/She will be able to use both the tensor and indicial formalism to design mathematical models of most large scale and small scale flows. In particular, he/she will be able to make the link between the physical processes and their mathematical parameterization and to justify the main assumptions.
He/She will be able to write down budget equations, understand the processes responsible for the transport of information and energy in fluids, use integral forms of the Navier-Stokes equation to describe simple flows. He/She will also be able to rely on a simplified 1D model to describe shock waves in a nozzle.
Through the group project, the course contributes to the development of soft skills like self-study, collaborative work and reporting.
Oportunidades de financiamiento/becas
1- ERASMUS MUNDUS SCHOLARSHIPS (given by EU)
For the next cohort (September 2020) 20 Erasmus Mundus scholarships for NON EU and 8 for EU will be available (to be confirmed in Sept 2019)
A full scholarship for non EU includes:
- The full tuition fees (8000€/year)
- A monthly allowance for living expenses of 1000€/month
- Installation fee: 1000€ (lump sum at arrival)
- Travel expenses (3000€/year – lump sum)

A full scholarship for EU includes :
- The full tuition fees (4000€/year)
- A monthly allowance for living expenses of 1000€/month
- Travel costs : 1000€/year
- A health insurance 500€/year
A student having full ERASMUS MUNDUS Scholarship will not be eligible for monthly allowance while he/she is studying in his/her home country (for example, a Belgian student with this scholarship will not get monthly allowance 1000€/month in the first year of the program).
2- CONSORTIUM SCHOLARSHIPS (industrial scholarships)
The consortium offers industrial scholarships for EU and NON EU candidates applying to M120. The number (3-4/intake) and amount of scholarships will be fixed according to to the fund availability.
It will be distributed according to candidate CV’s quality and their motivation.
A full scholarship is not given. We prefer to give partial scholarship to several students instead of full ones to only a few.
The Consortium scholarship may include (one or two of the following, not all):
• Tuition fees (up to 5.000€ / year, valid for 2 years).
• Free Health insurance at ULiège.
• Travels: up to 500€.
• Monthly allocation for living and housing (200-300€/month, during few months).
3- ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS
Academic Scholarship concerns excellent applicants, and this scholarship will cover a part of tuition fees and about 500€ / month for EU student and 850€ / month for non EU students.
4- MOBILITY SCHOLARSHIPS (EU mobility Grant)
If a student has not yet benefited from an ERASMUS study grant, he/she can apply during his/her stay at ULiège for a standard ERASMUS mobility grant (mobility inside EU) for the mobility to ECN, URO or UPM (up to 12 months – beware: internship period can’t be covered by this scholarship). This is accessible to all students (except for those who have full Erasmus Mundus Scholarship or a Consortium Scholarship).
It is aimed to cover a part of the expenses due to the mobility, but it is not at all sufficient for a living! The scholarship is a lump sum (200~300€/Month), calculated on the basis of the destination and the number of months of study to be done there. A first transfer of 70% of the grant is done at the beginning of the stay in the destination university, after completion by the student of a certain number of administrative tasks, and the remaining 30% are transferred at the end of the mobility period, after completion by the student of a certain number of administrative tasks. The administrative tasks will be explained to the applicants in due time.
Full information will be given to eligible students at the beginning of the semester in Liege, by the International Office.
