MAE 5230

Intermediate Fluid Dynamics with CFD

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

Builds on the foundation of MAE 3230. Emphasis is placed on both the fundamental principles and numerical calculation of real flows using a computational fluid dynamics package. Topics covered include inviscid and viscous flows at different regimes of Reynolds number. The examples will be related to engineering and environmental applications.

When Offered Spring.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: graduate standing or permission of instructor. Intended for M.Eng. students who wish to take a fluid dynamics course including implementation of commercial computational fluid dynamics packages.

Comments Co-meets with MAE 4230/MAE 4231. Course includes a 1-credit CFD design project due at the end of the semester. Complements material in MAE 6010 and MAE 6020.
