13249 - Introduction to Gas Dynamics Modulübersicht

Module Number: 13249
Module Title:Introduction to Gas Dynamics
  Einführung in die Gasdynamik
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr.-Ing. Schmidt, Heiko
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successful participation the students are able to distinguish the physical properties of compressible and incompressible fluid flows. They have understood the governing equations, relevant phenomena, and control parameters, and they are able to perform a quantitative analysis of simple problems. In the exercise the students apply theoretical concepts to sample problems in order to develop analytical and numerical problem-solving skills.
Contents:
  • Conserved quantities and conservation laws
  • Nondimensional numbers
  • Sound speed and propagation

  • State change with entropy change
  • Steady compressible flows
  • Unsteady compressible flows
  • Stationary and propagating shocks
Recommended Prerequisites:Basic knowledge of continuum mechanics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics is an asset.
