Course Content

COMPRESSIBLE AERODYNAMICS
Compressible Aerodynamics explores the complexities of fluid motion in scenarios where variations in density cannot be ignored, typically at speeds approaching or exceeding the speed of sound. The course begins with fundamental concepts of gas dynamics and progresses to more advanced topics, including shock waves, expansion fans, and the equations governing compressible flow. Through a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications, students will learn about the critical parameters that influence compressible flow, such as Mach number, Reynolds number, and specific heat ratios. The course also covers the analysis of one-dimensional flow, isentropic flows, normal and oblique shock waves, and the Prandtl-Meyer expansion. Real-world applications, such as supersonic flight, jet propulsion, and high-speed wind tunnel testing, will be examined to illustrate the importance of compressible aerodynamics in modern engineering. Students will engage in problem-solving sessions, computational simulations, and case studies to reinforce their understanding and prepare for advanced aerospace challenges.
