ME 472. Fluid Mechanics II. Mechanics and thermodynamics of incompressible and compressible flows: varying-area adiabatic flow, standing normal and oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer flow, Fanno flow, Rayleigh flow, turbulent flow in ducts and boundary layers. Prerequisites: ME 320, 370. Credit 3 units.

Textbook: Modern Compressible Flow with Historical Perspective by Anderson, McGraw Hill

Reference: Texts used for Thermodynamics, ME 320, 321, and Fluid Mechanics, ME 370

Coordinator: Richard A. Gardner, Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Goals: The goal of this senior elective is to extend a student's understanding of fluid mechanics to those flows where compressible phenomena become important.
