Introduction to Compressible Flow - Prof. S. A. E. Miller, Ph.D.

Introduction to Compressible Flow Prof. S. A. E. Miller, Ph.D. saemiller.com faculty.eng.ufl.edu/fluids/ www.linkedin.com/in/saemiller/ University of Florida Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering This class is an introduction to the subject of compressible flow. Students should have a basic understanding of mathematics, partial differential equations, and basic aerodynamics or fluid mechanics theory. The class consists of a number of modules that can be found through the play list. Subjects include but are not limited to basic fluid mechanics, equations of motion, gas theory, thermodynamics, Reynolds transport theory, isentropic flow, semi-one-dimensional flow, normal shock waves, blast wave theory, supersonic wind tunnel theory, nozzles, inlets, diffusers, normal shock waves, moving shock waves, oblique shock waves, shock wave impingement and reflection, shear layers, off-design jets, bow shocks, Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves, basic transonics, basic supersonics, basic hypersonics, and a number of special topics. This course is developed by a leading theoretical investigator with over seven years of experience as a research aerospace engineer at NASA and many years experience as a professor at an R1 University within the United States of America. The class is based on Prof. Miller's experience, journal articles, countless books, and historical material from NASA and the public domain. All material is used for educational purposes and no monetary gain has or will be achieved. All material is based on the fair use educational doctrine.
