Aims
To provide and introductory to the theories of compressible flows as
part of the curriculum requirement and as a fundamental background
to aerospace propulsion courses
The Course Outcomes
At the successful completion of this course the student should:


Understand the definition and fundamental aspects of compressible flow
Understand the definitions and types of shock and expansion waves:
oblique-shock waves, shock-expansion interaction, and unsteady
expansion waves.
 Be able to do simple calculations related to applications of compressible
flow on variations in geometry
 Understand the concept of generalization of one-dimensional and twodimensional subsonic and supersonic flows
