Description : Objectives: the lecture will present a broad overview of fluid
mechanics at all scales, from bacterias to stars. Through worked-out
examples, the fundamentals of flow modelling will be introduced:
key concepts (boundary layers, waves and flow instabilities),
physical mechanisms (diffusive/convective fluxes, vortex induction),
techniques (scale invariance and thin films), and
approaches (quick order of magnitude estimates vs more refined
asymptotic analyses).
After a review of hydrodynamics fundamentals (conservation laws and
boundary conditions), the lecture will stroll through two main themes,
Low Reynolds number hydrodynamics and inertia-dominated flows. A
particular focus on thin films will allow for a description of flows
as diverse as the relaxation of micron-thick viscous polymer melts up
to planet-sized atmospherical flows.
