Description

Content

Karman theory of boundary layer flow and boundary layer equations; frictional boundary layer along straight surface; frictional boundary layer along curved surface, criteria for separation of flow; basic equations and thermodynamics of compressible flow; supersonic flow and shock phenomena

Completion methods

Assignments, laboratory work, examination

Assessment details

The final grade is based on examination (2/3), assignments (1/6) and laboratory work (1/6).

Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students understand basic phenomenology of frictional boundary layer flow, including laminar and turbulent boundary layer, skin friction and separation of flow. Students will be able to use basics theories of frictional boundary layer flow to estimate e.g. drag on submerged bodies. They understands basic phenomena related to compressible flows, and differences to incompressible flows. They can also use the theory of adiabatic, isentropic and compressible flow to analyse flows in short ducts and nozzles. Also they understand most important features of supersonic flow.

Additional information

Given on spring semester 2nd period, every two years starting spring 2018.
