COMPRESSIBLE  FLOW  (SG2215)

 

First lecture Thursday, March 26, 2015, 13-15,

Lecture room E52

 

Course code:              SG2215          7.5 ECTS credits

                                   SG3113          9.0 ECTS credits (doctoral students)[1]

 

SG2215 consists of 50 h lectures and 3 laboratory exercises.

 

Aim: The course is meant to give the students an extension and an enhancement of their knowledge in the area of compressible flow, in particular with respect to aerodynamic and engine applications.

 

Prerequisites: The course assumes that the contents of the course SG1215, SG1217 or SG1220, or something similar, have been studied.

 

Course syllabus:

Overview and review of basic gas dynamics concepts and processes. Normal and oblique shock waves. Expansion waves. Nozzle flow. The potential equation for compressible flow. Compressibility corrections for subsonic flow. Linear two-dimensional supersonic flow. Transonic flow. Experimental methods for compressible flow. Unsteady wave  motion and shock tube flow. Orientation about hypersonic flows.

 

Literature:       "Modern Compressible Flow, with historical perspective, 3rd ed"

J.D. Anderson. McGrawHill, 2004.  KTH book shop around 500 SEK .

 

Requirements: Oral exam, laboratory exercises, hand in assignments.
