This is a resource page for the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory course at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The syllabus, and the procedures for the laboratory experiments themselves, are given on UTC Learn. This is supplementary material to explain some of the concepts and to be an informational source for the students, i.e., perhaps to reduce time with the search engine.

He rowed his own boat. You row yours too. Don’t cheat! - My Profile on Meet the Prof
- Fluid Mechanics YouTube Channel
- Introductory Video
- Report Format Requirements
- How Those “Award-Winning” Lab Videos Came into Being. You may get tired of watching them, but they actually won an award.
- The Experiments: Each of these has a page with links to the video, procedure and other materials useful for the lab.
- Other Items
- Mathematical Resources (because everybody needs help in math)
- Blessed are the Merciful: I keep getting requests to “go light” on the grading. This is how I did it myself.
- My Thoughts on Sleeping in Class
- In Search of the Lost Movado: Bar hopping has consequences.
- Who’s This Idiot? That’s Me! It’s easy to get trapped in the system.
- When the Pathfinder Gets Lost: some students like to “follow the lead” of someone else to get the course work done. That can have negative results other than those described in the syllabus, just like this example
- “I Need to Find the Way”. Fluid Mechanics can be a stinker, as one Turk found out the hard way.
- What’s Really Important When You Hit the Field
- The Two Promises I Made to Myself
- Lessons from the Cotter Bridge
- Mirroring Our Creator
- Experiments of Yore (stuff we used to do but don’t do now)
- Rotational Motion of Fluids
- Fluid Mechanics Laboratory Video: Rotating Drum
- Computing Open Channel Flow Using a Pitot Tube, this is strictly speaking for the Hydraulic Jump, but it explains the calculations for the Pitot tube, which you will need in this experiment.
- Rotational Motion of Fluids
