SG2219 Advanced Compressible Flows 7.5 credits

The course mainly deals with the following four topics:

• Laminar compressible boundary layers
• Thermodynamics for hypersonic applications

In addition a topic of current interest in compressible flow will be covered. The chosen topic is specific for each course round. Possible topics are, e.g.

• Detonation and deflagration waves
• Kinetic gas theory
• Propagation of shock waves

Each part is covered in about 12h lectures/seminars. Parts of the course are closely related to research projects at KTH Mechanics.

After this course the students should, depending on which topics are treated, be able to:

a) understand how a viscous boudary layer develope at high mach numbers and calculate the velocity and temperature fields.

b) calculate shock-wave propagation in two dimensions

c) understand the coupling between chemical reactions and flow in a gas.

d) extend the thermodynamic concepts to high temperatures

English B/ English 6.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• SEM1 - Seminars, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• SEM2 - Seminars, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Assignments (1,5+1,5 hp), exam (4,5 hp). (Period 1, 3,5 hp och period 2, 4 hp.)
