COURSE OUTLINE
(Based on Fluid Mechanics 6th Ed., Frank M. White)

Chapter 8: Flow of an incompressible inviscid fluid. Stream function and velocity-potential; elementary plane-flow solutions; superposition of elementary solutions; functions of a complex variable, the Rankine oval; flow past a circular cylinder with circulation; Kutta-Joukowski theorem; finite-difference approximation; matching of BL and potential flows.


Chapter 7: Boundary layer (BL) flows. Internal versus external flow, boundary layers; momentum relations for BL flows; BL thickness; the BL equations, adverse pressure gradient, separation; the turbulent BL; aerodynamic forces; forces on lifting bodies.


Chapter 6: Viscous flow in ducts. Laminar and turbulent flows; flow in pipes, dimensional analysis, friction factor; exact solution for a circular pipe; time averaged turbulent flow; Moodys chart; types of generic pipe-flow problems; flow in noncircular ducts; minor losses in pipe systems.

Computational Fluid Dynamics. Printed notes. Computer projects.


Chapter 9: Flow of compressible fluids. The speed of sound, Mach number; adiabatic and isentropic steady flow; isentropic flow with area change; normal shock; the converging-diverging nozzle; compressible duct flow with friction; frictionless duct flow with heat transfer; two-dimensional supersonic flow.
