Further Information

Courses are together with exams the building blocks for modules. Please keep in mind that information on the contents, learning outcomes and, especially examination conditions are given on the module level only – see section "Assignment to Modules" above.

additional remarks 1) Thermodynamic backgroud (ideal and perfect gas, state variation, isentropes) 2) Compressible governing equations (Navier-Stokes, Euler) in conservative and in primitive formulation 3) 1-D stationary streamtube theory, nozzle flow, shock formation, double chocked systems 4) Hyperbolic systems, wave formation and propagation 5) 1-D instationary wave dynamics - linear and nonlinear treatment, shock tube 6) 2-D stationary supersonic flow -linear and nonlinear treatment (shock polar, epizycloide) 7) Transonic flow, swept wing 8) Selected technical applications
