Hydrdynamics and elasticity 1100-4HaE

1. Knowledge

After completing the course, the student:
– knows and understands the basic concepts and laws of hydrodynamics and elasticity theory, in particular the continuous description of material media, the concept of stress and strain tensors, and conservation laws,
– know and understand the derivation and meaning of the equations governing fluid flow (Euler and Navier–Stokes equations) and the deformation of elastic bodies,
– know and understand the role of symmetry, boundary conditions and material parameters in the description of hydrodynamic and elastic phenomena,
– knows and understands typical analytical solutions and their scope of applicability in the physics of continuous systems.

2. Skills

After completing the course, the student:
– is able to write down and analyse equations of hydrodynamics and elasticity theory for simple physical systems,
– will be able to solve elementary boundary problems concerning fluid flow and deformation of elastic bodies using analytical methods,
– will be able to interpret the physical meaning of the solutions obtained and assess their correctness and limitations,
– will be able to use mathematical apparatus (tensor calculus, differential equations) to describe phenomena in continuous media.

3. Social competences

After completing the course, the student:

– is ready to independently deepen their knowledge of hydrodynamics and elasticity theory and use it in further education or research work,
– is ready to critically analyse simplifications of theoretical models and responsibly apply them to describe real-life phenomena.
– is ready to cooperate in solving physics problems and to clearly communicate the results of their reasoning and calculations
