CSE- 902 Advanced Incompressible Fluids
Campus RCMS
Programs PG
Session Fall Semester 2016
Course Title Advanced Incompressible Fluids
Course Code CSE- 902
Credit Hours 3-0
Pre-Requisutes
Course Objectives The course is designed for use by graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The goal in teaching this course is to provide students with a clear explanation of the physical phenomena encountered in incompressible flows. The understanding of practical situations in which incompressibility effects can be assumed will be covered. The objectives of the course are:
  • To develop the students’ understanding of fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics.
  • To develop the students’ understanding of the basic principles and techniques of low speed aerodynamics.
  • To develop the students’ ability to model two-dimensional inviscid flows using potential flow theory.
  • To develop the students’ understanding of thin airfoil theory and their ability to obtain estimates of airfoil performance using thin airfoil theory.
  • To develop the students’ understanding of finite wing theory and their ability to obtain estimates of finite-wing performance using finite wing theory.
