Dynamics of Compressible Fluids. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: undergraduate differential equations, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. One-dimensional reversible and irreversible compressible fluid flow, including effects of variable area, friction, mass addition, heat addition, and normal shock; two-dimensional reversible subsonic and supersonic flows, and an introduction to the method of characteristics and two-dimensional oblique shock.
