Syllabus
Syllabus of AE-325 for semester 072
Catalog Description
Fundamentals of compressible fluid flow (gas dynamics) in relation to effects of area change (nozzles and diffusers), friction and heat interaction (Fanno, Rayleight line, and isothermal flow), combustion waves (deflagration, explosion, and detonation waves), normal and oblique shock waves and their effects on flow properties (extended diffusers and supersonic airfoils). Applications to flow through pipelines, subsonic, sonic, and supersonic flights, turbo machinery and combustion.
Course Objectives
This course deals with compressible flow that is encountered in many aerospace and mechanical engineering practices and provides deeper knowledge on the effect of compressibility on a flow much more than aerodynamics, fluid mechanics or thermodynamics. This course has a set of objectives that you need to keep in mind during the course of the semester. You should be able to:
1. Describe assumptions, physical meaning of terms and utilize key relationships for compressible flow, speed of sound, isentropic and non-isentropic flows;
2. Calculate the effect of area change, heat addition, and friction on flow states in a compressible duct flow, including effects on mass flow rate and flow regime;
3. Estimate the lift and drag for basic aerodynamic shapes in compressible, inviscid flows;
4. Perform a numerical simulation of compressible flow through a variable area duct.
