    This document provides an overview of the course OCEN 678 Fluid Dynamics for Ocean and Environmental Engineering. The course covers Kelvin's theorem and potential flow theory, which are fundamental concepts in fluid dynamics. Specifically, it will define an ideal fluid, derive Kelvin's theorem showing that flow is irrotational for an ideal fluid, and examine the assumptions and equations of potential flow theory. Readings from two fluid mechanics textbooks are assigned to provide further information on these topics.
