Syllabus:

1. Fundamental concepts of Gasdynamics and Fluid Dynamics

A. Gas dynamics : Fundamental physical quantities of a flowing gas (pressure, density, temperature, flow velocity and stream lines). The source of aerodynamics forces, equation of state. Concept of Mach number and classification of flow regimes in to Incompressible, Subsonic, Transonic, Sonic, Supersonic and Hypersonic based on Mach number. Stagnation properties (stagnation pressure, stagnation enthalpy and stagnation temperature). Effect of Mach number on compressibility, Impulse function, mass flow rate in terms of pressure ratio, mass flow rate in terms of Mach number, flow through convergent nozzle, flow through convergent-divergent nozzle, flow through diffusers Mach number variation in nozzle and diffuser, concept of shock wave. Use of gas tables.

B. Fluid Dynamics-Relevant to Aerodynamics : Significance of dynamic viscosity in aerodynamic design, boundary layer approximations, measure of boundary layer thickness, Laminar boundary layer, laminar-Turbulent transition, Turbulent boundary layer, Structure of a turbulent boundary layer (laminar sub layer, buffer layer and log-law layer), Thermal boundary layer, boundary layer control. Effect of adverse pressure gradient, boundary layer separation, standard atmosphere.
