Lecture Hours: Sunday, Tuesday, 10:3012:00 AM, Audio Visual Room, No. 1. TA: , Hours: OBJECTIVE: Compressible flow, also referred to as gas dynamics plays a vital role in a variety of
engineering and physical phenomena. Typically compressible flow is associated with aerospace applications such as supersonic flow and rocket engines, but it also has relevance to mechanical engineering; an example of the latter is in gas turbines. The emphasis will be on physical understanding of the phenomena and basic analytical techniques. The goal of this course is to lay out the fundamental concepts and results for the compressible flow of gases. Topics to be covered include: appropriate conservation laws; propagation of disturbances; isentropic flows; normal shock wave relations, oblique shock waves, weak and strong shocks, and shock wave structure; compressible flows in ducts with area changes, friction, or heat addition; unsteady compressible flows, Riemann invariants, and piston and shock tube problems; steady 2D supersonic flow, Prandtl-Meyer function; axisymmetric characteristics method, conical flow, and self-similar compressible flows.
