This course presents applications of compressible fluid dynamics at an introductory graduate level. Topics are chosenfrom: conservation laws; propagation of disturbances; compressible flow with friction; method of characteristics,analysis and design of supersonic nozzles, diffusers, and inlets; transonic and supersonic thin-airfoil theory; three-dimensional compressible flows; compressible boundary layers; hypersonic flows; unsteady compressible flows. Students cannot receive credit for this course if they have taken AE 5093 ST: Applied Compressible Fluid Dynamics.
