 |
Contenus du cours :
 |
| This course introduces students to the aerothermodynamic analysis of high speed flows. Two main subjects are addressed:
- Transonic and supersonic aerodynamics
- Atmospheric reentry and plasma physics |
 |
Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) du cours :
 |
| The aim of this course is to introduce students to some aspects of high speed aerothermodynamics.
The detailed objectives are:
- Introduction to transonic and supersonic flows
- Calculation of lift and drag of 2D wings at transonic and supersonic conditions
- Calculation of lift and drag of 3D wings and aircraft at transonic and supersonic conditions
- Application of the characteristic method to one-dimensional unsteady flows
- Introduction to chemically reacting and plasma flows encountered in hypersonic and combustion applications
- Solutions to some practical problems encountered in aerospace missions, focusing on the simulation of atmospheric entry flows and ground testing |
