ABOUT THE COURSE: This course is expected to impart firsthand knowledge of compressible flows as it applies to both the supersonic and hypersonic Mach number regimes. It combines the theoretical approach with the numerical one without making it too detailed and intricate. After successful completion of this course the student should be well prepared for more advanced courses in the discipline. With ever increasing use of high speed flows in a wide gamut of applications, especially in the defence and space sectors, it is essential to understand the basic concepts of compressible flows over a wide Mach number range while working on any of the above applications. This course exactly fulfils that need. Applications of shock waves in other disciplines is also discussed briefly in this course. I would like to once more emphasize that the primary intention of this course is to create a familiarity about the supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes. It is not intended to prepare someone for research but induce the excitement and enthusiasm to pursue it further.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Fourth year or fifth year UG or Dual Degree /PG /PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or allied disciplinesPREREQUISITES: Basic fluid mechanics course with introductory exposure to compressible flow.INDUSTRY SUPPORT: ISRO/ DRDL/ ADA/ NAL/ GE/ Boeing/ Airbus
