EMEC571 — Compressible Flow Gas Dynamics
EMEC 571 - Compressible Flow Gas Dynamics EMEC 571 - Compressible Flow Gas Dynamics 3 credits (Hrs: 3 Lec.) This course provides an in-depth study of compressible flow theory and applications. Compressible flow, usually described as variable density flow, is most often encountered in high-speed flight of aircraft, missiles, rockets, and reentry vehicles and in high-speed flow through nozzles and diffusers, wind tunnels, gas turbine engines, steam turbines, and other devices. Topics studied in this course include integral and differential equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy, normal shock waves, oblique waves (shocks and expansion waves), bow shock waves, one-dimensional flow with heat addition (Rayleigh flow) and one-dimensional flow with friction (Fanno flow), flows with area change (nozzles and diffusers), and wind tunnels. Rocket launches for space missions are studied for the many examples of compressible flow encountered in these applications. Prerequisite(s): ( EMEC 320 or EGEN 324 ) and EGEN 335 and M 274
