MAE 4230
Intermediate Fluid Dynamics

Course information provided by the 2017-2018 Catalog.

This course 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.


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

Outcomes
