ME 445 Applied Gas Dynamics

The objective of this course is to provide an understanding of fundamentals of gas dynamics. It is a course in applied thermodynamics and fluid mechanics which consider the important, basic energy and compressible fluid flows. This course places an emphasis on the steady, one-dimensional flow problems and a general understanding of the principles of multi-dimensional flows, and provides an engineering approach to isentropic flows, shock waves, and propulsion. It is expected that the student has some familiarity with material derivatives, control volume analysis, derivation of governing equations, etc. Open-ended design and computer problems are assigned. Prerequisite: ME 311 or Graduate Student Status.
