ME219 - Fluid Mechanics
Instructor
Prof Neeraj Kumbhkarna
Section
S3
Semester
Autumn ‘21
Course Difficulty
The course as a whole is very chill, doable in one night :p. Most of the course is purely basic JEE concepts - hydrostatic pressure, Bernoulli’s equation. Newer concepts like Navier Stoke Equation are introduced in the later classes but are easy to get the hang of.
Time Commitment Required
Not a lot of time commitment is required, which is surprising considering it’s an 8 credit course. There are no quizzes or a midsem, just a 40% weightage endsem and Lecture and tut quizzes.
Grading Policy and Statistics
Grading was very chill with most people getting AAs and ABs.
Attendance Policy
No attendance policy was followed as such but sir held 2 quizzes every lectures on moodle which accounts for 20% of your grade and the tut quizzes on moodle account for 40% of your grade.
Evaluation Scheme
20% - Lecture Quizzes
40% - Tutorial Quizzes
40% - Endsem
Topics Covered in the Course
Hydrostatics, Bernoulli’s Equation, Laminar and Turbulent Flow, Reynold’s Number, Viscosity, Navier Stokes Equation
Teaching Style
The prof took lectures online on MS Teams and quizzes were taken at random times on moodle based on the concepts taught in that lecture.
Tutorials/Assignments/Projects
Tut and Lecture quizzes were very easy, with the prof covering similar questions in the class itself.
Feedback on Exams
Endsem was very easy with people easily scoring >35 marks out of 40
