Course content
Among the broad range of application fields of fluid dynamics, the course will focus on the themes of “supersonic flow” and “magnetohydrodynamcs” which are intimately related with gas dynamics, and the basic principles will be explained. The phenomena dealt with in this course include many interesting themes from a physical perspective, as well as from an engineering application perspective relating to energy and the environment etc. While it is important to understand each phenomenon in-depth, students should always be aware of their interrelationships and potential applications, and understand those aspects which are related their own research fields.
Purpose of class
The specific purposes of the class are:
1. To understand physical phenomena of a supersonic flow.
2. To master calculation methods to examine compressible fluid motions.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to derive the governing equations of compressible fluid flow and to explain the fundamental phenomena of gas based on the equations.
  2. Students will be able to explain the characteristics of the supersonic flow through a nozzle.
  3. Students will be able to apply oblique shock wave relations and Prandtl-Meyer function to explain two-dimensional supersonic flow-fields.
  4. Students will be able to understand important plasma parameters and to apply the MHD approximation to the plasma flow.
