General description Os obxetivos da Mecánica de Fluidos céntranse no estudo dos fluidos en reposo ou en movemento así como nos correspondentes efectos nos contornos. O coñecemento dos principios básicos do comportamento dun fluido resulta esencial á hora de analizar e deseñar todo sistema que conta cun fluido operativo como sistemas de tuberías e máquinas hidráulicas.
O alumno debe ter coñecementos de Termodiánimica e Mecánica ademais dunha sólida base física e matemática.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech There will be a detailed explanation of the contents of the subject distributed in topics. The student will have at all times a typed copy of the topic to be discussed in each lesson speech. Class participation is encouraged through comments that relate the theoretical content to real life experiences.
Problem solving The collections of exercises proposed for each topic will be solved, allowing the application of the most appropriate mathematical models to each case, including handling of tables, application of the most appropriate hypotheses, relationship with the theoretical content developed in the lectures and with the professional exercise. Real equipment related to the subject will be displayed both in the classroom and in the workshop.
Supervised projects Solution of problems not completed in-class sessions, with generic instructions from the teacher for their resolution and/ or presentation of topics or problems of calculation and design of special relevance.
Objective test 3 partial written tests will be carried out, with the possibility of recovering material from the previous test. It will consist of a theoretical part and a practical part, in such a way that both count for 50% of the grade. The ordinary and extraordinary exams will be governed by the same format.

Assessment comments

The official tests of the first opportunity, will include the different evaluation methodologies and must be completed by those students who have not passed the continuous evaluation as a whole. This test will be designed in such a way that the student can examine the objective test, where they have not reached at least 30% of the total grade.

Students obliged to attend the official "second chance" tests will keep the grade achieved in all methodologies, with the exception of the one obtained in the objective tests of the 1st opportunity, which will be replaced by that of the 2nd. In the same way, the students will only be eligible for honors if the maximum number of these for the corresponding course is not covered in its entirety at the "first opportunity".

For students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance, the grade obtained in the activities associated with the personalized tutoring system will correspond to the evaluation of the problem-solving methodology and objective tests, with a weighting of 30 and 70%, respectively.

Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a failing grade "0" in the subject and in the corresponding call, besides invalidating any grade obtained in either evaluation activity for the extraordinary call.

The evaluation system meets the competency evaluation criteria set out in Column 4 of the following Tables of the STCW Convention, modified by Manila 2010:

1.- Table A-III / 1 of Specification of the minimum standards of competence applicable to officers in charge of the watch in a permanently manned engine-room and those appointed to serve in an unmanned engine-room.

Function: Naval machinery, at the operational levelCompetencies:

-1.1 Carry out a safe machinery watch

-1.2 Operate the main and auxiliary machinery and the corresponding control systems.
