AE 265 - Boundary Layers


3 unit(s)
Boundary layer analysis on airfoils and aerodynamic surfaces: integral methods (Pohlhausen, Thwaites-Walz). Self-similar solutions for laminar boundary layers: Blasius solution and Falkner-Skan flows. Explicit finite difference methods for the solution of incompressible, laminar boundary layers with and without external pressure gradients. Compressible, boundary layers: general solutions, self-similar solutions in supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes. Turbulent boundary layers: transition, universal law of the wall, turbulence models.

Prerequisite(s): BS in Aerospace Engineering or instructor consent.
Grading: Letter Graded
