    Course Overview

    The Advanced Fluid Mechanics 3: Potential Flows & Boundary Layers Certification Course is the final module of a three-course series in incompressible fluid mechanics available on the edX platform. The advanced-level engineering course is designed and delivered by the expert faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

    The Advanced Fluid Mechanics 3: Potential Flows & Boundary Layers Training will be provided through video lectures, demonstrations, lecture concept checks, practice problems, and extensive problem sets. After a learner completes all course steps and evaluations, they will receive the Advanced Fluid Mechanics 3: Potential Flows & Boundary Layers Certification by edX and Stanford University. The candidates will be getting the option to choose from among the 2 tracks, one is the audit track and the other is the verified track. If one wants limited but free access their pick can be the audit track whereas if someone needs unlimited course material access they may upgrade to the paid verified track.
