MAE 4230/5230 Intermediate Fluid Dynamics.
Emphasis is placed on
both the fundamental principles and numerical calculation of real flows
using a computational fluid dynamics package. Topics covered include some
exact solutions to the
Navier-Stokes equations, boundary layers, wakes and jets, separation,
compressible flow, and turbulence. For those interested in students' evaluation

-
MAE 427 Experimental Laboratory in Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer.
Laboratory
exercises in fluid mechanics and the thermal sciences. Measurements of flame
temperature, pressure, heat transfer, viscosity, lift and drag, fluid-flow rate,
effects of turbulence, air foil stall, flow visualization, and spark-ignition
engine performance. Instrumentation, techniques and analysis, and interpretation of results.
Biweekly written assignments with extensive feedback.
