Catalog Description: This course emphasizes application of the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy to solve problems in one-dimensional and two-dimensional compressible flow. Specific applications of one-dimensional compressible flow include one-dimensional isentropic flow, flow with area change, adiabatic flow with friction, normal shock waves and flow with heat addition. The method of characteristics is introduced to solve two-dimensional compressible flow problems.

Objectives
The main objective of the course is to provide students with insight into many applications of one-dimensional compressible flow and to introduce students to solution techniques for two-dimensional compressible flow. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Formulate and solve problems in one -dimensional steady compressible flow including isentropic nozzle flow, constant area flow with friction (Fanno flow) and constant area flow with heat transfer (Rayliegh flow).• Derive the conditions for the change in pressure, density and temperature for flow through a normal shock.• Determine the strength of oblique shock waves on wedge shaped bodies and concave corners.• Determine the change in flow conditions through a Prandtl-Meyer expansion wave.• Complete a numerical analysis project to solve an unsteady one-dimensional flow problem.
