SPC407 Course Outline

This 3 credit course covers supersonic and hypersonic fluid dynamics through 13 weekly lectures. Students will complete approximately 5 homework assignments, 6 Matlab and Fluent computational assignments, and a semester-long computer project involving computational fluid dynamics software. Textbooks by Anderson will be used and students can download ANSYS software. The course grade will be based on homework, assignments, midterms, a project, and a final exam. Office hours will be held by the instructors.
