ENGR 323 Fluid Mechanics
Provide a broad introduction to fundamental concepts in fluid mechanics including fluid properties, fluid statics, control volumes, kinematics of fluids, conservation of mass, linear momentum. Discuss fundamental equations of motion, including Bernoulli’s equation and the Navier-Stokes equations, as well as their applications. Present dimensional analysis and internal and external flows. Emphasis is on mathematical formulation, engineering applications and problem solving, as well as on developing physical insights into fluid flow.
ME 529 Aerodynamics
Students will gain knowledge of basic relations describing the flow field around wings and bodies at both subsonic and supersonic speeds. Students will develop the ability to apply thin-wing theory and slender body theory. Students will formulate theories to evaluate forces and moments acting on airplane geometries. Students will understand how the different speed regimes influence the design of modern aircraft.
ME 523 Introduction of Turbulent Flows
This senior/graduate course is intended to cover the most important issues related to physical understanding and modeling of turbulent flows. The subjects to be addressed are the following: origin of turbulence, irregularity, diffusivity, three-dimensional motions, dissipation, wide spectrum, length scales; Statistical Description of Turbulence: Probability density, moments, correlations, integral micro scales, homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, Kolmogorov hypothesis, energy cascade, turbulence spectra; Turbulent Transport: Reynolds decomposition, turbulent stresses, Reynolds equations, mixing-length model, dynamics of turbulence; Free Shear Flows: Mixing layer, turbulent wakes and jets, grid turbulence; Wall-bounded Turbulent Flows: Channel and pipe flows, Reynolds stresses, turbulent boundary layer equations, logarithmic-law of wall; Introduction to turbulence modelling and experimental methods.
ME 523 Advanced Topics in Computational Fluid Dynamics
The objective of this course is to teach students to understand the potential and limitations of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), develop advanced solution methods for fluid-dynamics problems, and run commercial software in a critical manner. The course begins by presenting various forms of numerical approximations of governing equations. An in-depth analysis of iterative methods to solve linear systems will follow. Numerical methods for the solution of the Navier- Stokes equations will be presented, with emphasis on numerical stability and on conservation properties.
