| Abstract: |
Review of Fundamentals: Concepts from Fluid Mechanics, Basic Thermodynamic Relations
Compressible flow: Concept of Waves in fluid, Mach waves, Compression waves, Expansion waves
Basic Flow features: Isentropic flow, Shock waves, Stationary and Moving Shocks, Oblique Shocks, Bow Shocks, Expansion Fans
Example flows: Flow around bodies, Shock expansion method for flow over airfoils.
Flow Through a nozzle: Convergent Nozzles, CD Nozzles, Exit Pressure variation vs Stagnation pressure variation.
Oblique shock wave reflections, Jet flows Under' and over'expanded flows Shear layers
Other Non'isentropic flows
Flow with Friction, Friction choking
Flow with heat addition, Thermal choking
Supersonic combustion
Experimental Methods
Shock Tube, Supersonic Wind tunnel, Flow visualization, Supersonic Probes.
