Abstract:
This interactive seminar intends to give you an insight into „hardcore fluid mechanics” in industries. I am going to encourage you to utilize your background of basic physics and mathematics – including mental arithmetic – in quick and relevant approximations for complex fluids engineering solutions. For this purpose, all what you need are as follows: a piece of paper, a pen or pencil, some time, your sharp mind, and being sufficiently brave to make hand-made sketches and to elaborate descriptive formulae being as simple as possible. You can extensively have a practical benefit from this toolkit because it is mostly at your hand – even under extreme circumstances, such as in a desert island, where you can make drawings into the beach sand using a wooden stick… Keeping things simple, such old-school method is an exciting game as well as is of outstanding engineering value, as you will realize via my three case studies, demonstrating an evolutionary approach in the applied mathematics tools: A) Order-of-magnitude estimation for confirmation / rebuttal of feasibility of operational concepts; B) Geometrical optimization of constructions; C) Preliminary design of aerodynamic shapes. These examples will also strengthen your social life given that they A) will give you hints how to make new friends on New Years’ Day using fluid mechanics; B) will aid your mobile phone communication; and C) will contribute to the morning cornflakes of your family! How? Come and see! Let’s cooperate!
