| Short description: |
(in Polish) The theoretical framework known as hydrodynamics and elasticity provides a powerful and complete description of our world at macroscopic scales (i.e, at large scales and long times compared to the molecular scales). The macroscopic dynamics of a variety of complex systems, such as biological and soft materials, atmospheric clouds, and the crust of the Earth, poses a formidable challenge for theoretical modeling, in which knowledge of classical hydrodynamics and elasticity is a major prerequisite. This course introduces the basic equations of hydrodynamics and elasticity and methods of their solution. • We discuss the physics of everyday phenomena • We provide a uniform mathematical framework to describe flow and deformation • We show numerous real-life applications and examples |
| Full description: |
(in Polish) The course will cover a range of topics, such as: 1. Continuum description of matter, conservation laws and fundamental equations - Navier-Stokes and friends; 2. Hydrostatics: pressure, lift force, stability, ships and balloons 3. Inviscid flows: Euler equations, potential flows, lift force, d'Alembert paradox 4. Viscous flows: Why do planes fly? Boundary layer and explanation of aerodynamic lift. Low-Reynolds numbers and the Aristotelian world. Swimming of microorganisms; 5. Flows with a twist: Vortices – bathtub vortex versus tornado. 6. Elasticity theory: Stress and deformation, bending and twisting of shafts rods, microtubules, and DNA. 7. Waves: Shallow- and deep-water, capillary waves and tsunamis; seismic waves. |
