This is a course on the flow of incompressible viscous (ie. real) fluids. Unlike an ideal fluid, a viscous fluid exerts tangential stresses which are analogous to friction forces in mechanics. Once the governing partial differential equations are derived, we move on to obtaining and interpreting special solutions, eg. for flow between rotating cylinders, over an oscillating plate, between converging walls, or through pipes of various cross-sections. Domestic and industrial applications are mentioned. Motion of a very viscous fluid and slow flows as in lubrication are then considered in more detail.
