Gas Dynamics

Catalog description

Credits 3. 3 Lecture Hours. Overview of gas flows at Mach numbers wherein the fluid can no longer be assumed incompressible; aerospace and mechanical engineering applications ranging from external aerodynamics to internal flows for applications such as propulsion and airframe designs for jets, rockets, missiles and other devices; includes supersonic flows, shock waves, expansion waves, shock tubes, supersonic wind tunnels, gas flows with friction and gas flows with heat transfer. Prerequisite: MEEN 344 or equivalent.
