Supersonic and Hypersonic Fluid Dynamics
Fall 2016
Prepared By
Ahmed Mohamed Nagib Elmekawy, Ph.D., P.E.
Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Alexandria University
Course Description
The course begins with the basics of compressible fluid dynamics, including governing equations, thermodynamic context and characteristic parameters. The next large block of lectures covers quasi-one-dimensional flow, followed by a discussion of disturbances and unsteady flows. The second half of the course comprises gas dynamic discontinuities, including shock waves and detonations, and concludes with another large block dealing with two-dimensional flows, both linear and non-linear
