Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Prof. A. E. Perry
Prerequisite: 436-303 Fluid and Thermal Sciences and 400-304 Engineering Maths 3B
Contact: 26 hours of lectures, 13 hours of tutorials and laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion students should:
- be able to use complex velocity potential analysis to solve a variety of inviscid flow problems including incompressible flow past airfoils
- be familiar with theory of thin airfoils
- be familiar with gas dynamics in subsonic and supersonic flow
- be able to apply shock expansion theory to the solution of flow in a variety of situations including prediction of lift and drag of two dimensional bodies in supersonic flow
- be able to apply Ackeret or linear theory to thin airfoils
- be aware of viscous effects and boundary layer - shock wave interactions
Content:
Complex potentials, conformal transformations, Kutta condition and Joukowski airfoils, basic gas dynamics, isentropic flow in nozzles, non-isentropic flow, shock wave theory, Prandtl - Meyer expansion and compressions, Ackeret theory.
Assessment:
A three-hour examination: tutorials tests, assignments and laboratory reports not exceeding 20 pages.
