Computational Plasma & Reactive Flow Laboratory (CPRFLOW Lab)

Our research laboratory specializes in the numerical simulation of plasma & reactive flows such as those used in aerodynamic flow control, in plasma-assisted combustion for scramjets, in magnetohydrodynamic power generation, as well as in hypersonic re-entry flows. In our laboratory, we aim to improve the efficiency of the numerical methods and models needed to simulate plasma & reactive flows as well as... Read more.

CFDWARP Project: CFD Code for Plasma & Reactive Flow

CFDWARP is a 120,000+ line C code that is specifically tailored to simulate efficiently plasma and reactive flows occurring in aerodynamics, combustion, hypersonics, re-entry, arcing, and lightning. CFDWARP is a high-order compressible flow solver that uses novel flux discretization schemes suitable for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). CFDWARP is superior to other codes in two ways:... Read more.

AME536A Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics A

The first of two graduate courses giving a broad overview of the fundamental concepts and applications of fluid mechanics, AME536A is mostly focused on inviscid flow. We'll cover the fundamental equations of motions for mass and momentum conservation, surface tension, non-dimensional analysis, kinematics of vorticity, integral solutions, irrotational flows, and potential flow for incompressible fluids. ...

AME536B Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics B

The second of two graduate courses giving an overview of fluid mechanics, AME536B is mostly centered on viscous laminar flow. We will cover the derivation of the Navier-Stokes equations, stress-strain relationships, kinematics of a fluid particule, the vortex force, the viscous stress tensor, vortex stretching, boundary layers, developed flows in pipes, Stokes flow, self-similar solutions in jets and wakes, etc.... Read more.

AE23815 Heat Transfer

This is a third year undergraduate course about heat transfer phenomena. The course covers radiation, conduction in solids (steady and unsteady), external convection, viscous heating, internal convection, natural convection, and phase change. Example problems include the cooling of journal bearings, electricity cables, and the design of fins, hot wire anemometers, and hypersonic aircraft structural cooling... Read more.

AE25225 Intermediate Thermodynamics

Intermediate thermodynamics is a third-year undergraduate course explaining in more detail gas and liquid physics. Topics include the origin and the application of the ideal and non-ideal equations of state, the first and second law of thermo, the energy conservation equation in control-volume form, the isentropic relation for gases, the Maxwell relations, the mixtures of gases, and the chemical reactions within a... Read more.

AE68714 Computational Aerodynamics

“Computational Aerodynamics” is a graduate course (also opened to senior undergrads) giving an overview of the most popular Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods for aerodynamics. We'll see how to recast the fluid equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates, how to measure numerical error using Richardson extrapolation, and how to craft some high resolution and high order flux discretization... Read more.

AE23837 Numerical Analysis

Numerical analysis is the branch of mathematics involved with the development of efficient methods for solving problems using a computer. In this second-year undergraduate course, we will cover various numerical methods including numerical integration, numerical differentiation, root finding of linear and non-linear systems of equations, and curve fitting. For each numerical method shown in class, the student will... Read more.
