MAE 4230
Intermediate Fluid Dynamics

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2015-2016.

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.
