| Description: | Flow of compressible fluids. One-dimensional flows including basic concepts, isentropic flow,
normal and oblique shock waves, Rayleigh line, Fanno line, and simple waves. Multidimensional flows
including general concepts, small perturbation theory for linearized flows, and method of
characteristics for nonlinear flows.

|
| Goals: | To prepare the student for engineering analysis and design of high-speed flow systems,
by providing a foundation in compressible fluid mechanics and introducing techniques for
treatment of practical applications.
