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.
