MAE 4231
Intermediate Fluid Dynamics

Course information provided by the 2016-2017 Catalog.

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. Senior Design report required.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MAE 3230 or CEE 3310/BEE 3310, CHEME 3230. Prerequisite or corequisite MAE 4300, or permission of instructor.

Permission Note Enrollment limited to: senior standing or permission of instructor.
