AEROSPACE 508 Take-home exam

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics

Fall 2003

Due : 12/16/03 Tuesday 10 am

Team work is not allowed in this examination

No exam results will be accepted after 10 am on 12/16/2003

You are supposed to generate the equivalent of three 50 minute (each) lecture notes to be presented to senior/intoductory level graduate students in the area of

Normal shock relations (64-73)

Hugoniot equation (74-76)

Oblique shock and expansion waves (100-111)

You could see the three individual topics as three main sections of a one long presentation. The details of the discussion/ analytical models should be as good as or better than the explanations in the notes from J.D. Anderson/Modern Compressible Flow with Historical Perspective, Second Edition. Feel free to use graphical material from the chapters I am providing (located) outside my office door. Make sure that you reference the book in one corner of your report. I expect a report anywhere between 4000 words to 6000 words plus figures and equations.

Make sure that you adequately describe why we use these models. In what significant engineering problems, these models are essential. The main assumptions in the development of these models are absolutely needed in your report. Good physical interpretations are always welcome. We do not need to see just a set of equations. You are supposed to present them in a way that the audience can start using these models effectively in their own problems, in the related area.

Either a Word file or a PPT file is expected.

Please submit your work via e-mail
