ME 460 - Gas Dynamics

Institution:

Saint Martin's University

Subject:

Description:

Course extends student's knowledge of compressible fluid flow beyond that introduced in elementary fluid mechanics courses. Course also provides a background and tools sufficient for solution of engineering design problems involving gas flow. One-dimensional flow; isentropic, shock waves, constant-area flow with friction and with heating or cooling are covered. Also covered are two-dimensional flow; small perturbation theory, Gothert's rule, sweepback, supersonic airfoils, method of characteristics, Prandtl-Meyer expansion, oblique shock waves. Prerequisites: ME 312, ME 340.
