Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must

Judgement and approach
For a passing grade the student must

be able to communicate verbally and in writing with the teachers of the course as well as with the students peers, on matters considering basic phenomena and problems in fluid mechanics

be able to demonstrate written communication skills that are well-structured, learning-oriented and illustrative (group report and other written examination)

Contents

History and scope; basic principles, concepts and equations; potential flow; incompressible flow over airfoils and finite wings; laminar boundary layers; introduction to turbulence and turbulent boundary layers; bluff-body aerodynamics; normal and oblique shock waves, expansion fans; compressible flow in nozzles and ducts; subsonic and supersonic flow around airfoils.

Examination details

Grading scale: TH
Assessment: Assessment of individual (written) home exercises, lab-reports, written and orally presented group exercise, and a written theory test (without means of assistance). The course mark is determined from a total sum, which consists of the result from the passed written test, the group exercise and bonus points (if any) from approved problem assignments. The graduation is determined from a special formula.

Admission

Admission requirements:

Required prior knowledge: FMEA30 Engineering Mechanics.
The number of participants is limited to: No
