ABOUT THE COURSE: This course provides a comprehensive study of gas dynamics and its computational modeling, focusing on high-speed compressible flows. The first part of the course builds the foundation by covering the physics of shock waves, expansion fans, nozzle flows, and quasi-one-dimensional theory. The second part introduces numerical methods to solve the governing equations of compressible flow using shock-capturing schemes and Riemann solvers in finite difference and finite volume frameworks. Students will learn to implement basic and advanced discretization techniques and simulate practical problems such as shock tubes. INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG and PG students in Mechanical/Aerospace engineering departmentsPREREQUISITES: Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Engineering MathematicsINDUSTRY SUPPORT: HAL, NAL, ISRO, DRDO and Private Automobile and Aerospace Industries (Airbus, Boeing, Tata Motors etc.)
