Summary

This course is the continuation of dynamics of viscous flow. The case of the inviscid compressible flow is treated according to the acoustic hypothesis (small perturbations), then isentropic assumption and finally for normal shock waves. The theory of similarity is discussed with emphasis on the Reynolds number. The analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations by orders of magnitude and normalization is detailed; to finish with the boundary layer equations and an introduction to linear stability. There are plenty of relations with the other courses of the master program which need the knowledge of the present lecture. The links are evidenced for Turbulence, Dynamics of viscous flow, Experimental techniquesᅵ

Educational goals

At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - To address a fluid mechanics problem of fluid movement. - Analyze, understand and model a problem. - To have a good background in fluid dynamics. The competences introduces in this lecture are : - Conduct research and studies by implementing a multidisciplinary approach to solve complex scientific and technical problems of all or part of aeronautical or space systems. - Mobilize highly specialized knowledge, some of which is at the forefront of knowledge in a field of work or study, as a basis for original thinking - Solve problems to develop new knowledge and procedures and integrate knowledge from different fields

Pedagogy

Class sessions with active student participation will be set up with classical blackboard teaching. Each session will be followed by one or more exercises to be done independently and prepared at home. At the next tutorial session, these exercises will be corrected.
