-
3.00 Credits
The study of single degree, two degrees, and
multi-degrees of freedom systems, harmonic and
non-harmonic excitation, damped and
undamped response, free, forced, transient,
and random vibrations, resonance beating,
force transmission, isolation, base, and self
excitation. Term design project. Computer
numerical methods.

This course will introduce students to the subject of high speed gas dynamics. Compressible flows exhibit fundamentally different behavior from that observed in low speed, constant density fluids. Such flows are found in aerodynamics, combustors, turbines, jets, gas pipelines, and wind tunnel test facilities. Students will study phenomena associated with supersonic flows, including normal and oblique shocks, expansion fans, and compressible flows with friction and/or heat transfer. An introduction to high temperature and rarefied gas dynamics will also be included.
Prerequisite:
ENGRG 3553 (0253) and ENGRG 3571 (0271). Special authorization required for non-majors
