MAE 5130 - Advanced Fluid Dynamics

3 Credits

Mechanics of fluids. Governing equations: conversation laws, flow kinematics, and basic theorems. Ideal fluid flow: 2- and 3-D potential flows and surface waves. Viscous flows of incompressible fluids: exact solutions, low- Reynolds number approximations, and boundary layer theory. Compressible flow of inviscid fluids: shock waves, 1-D and multi-dimensional flows.Prerequisites: MATH 447 and MAE 3130.
