4. Frictional and local losses
5. Principles of pressure, velocity and discharge measurement
6. Unsteady one-dimensional flow
7. Relative flows
8. Force action on fluid jet
9. Laminar flows
10. Turbulent flows
11. Flow past bodies, boundary layer, drag and lift, wing theory
12. Dimensional analysis and model theory
13. Potential flow theory
14. Navier-Stokes equation
