We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.
Fundamentals of Compressible Flows
Critical engineering applications such as jet engines, rocket engines, gas pipelines, wind tunnels, supersonic flight, etc., rely on the flow of fluids at high speeds. At such speeds, the compressibility of the fluid becomes important and must be taken into consideration while designing such applications. In this learning track, we will explore the fundamentals of compressible flows. We will begin by introducing the Basics of Compressible Flows. Then, we will talk about Shock - Expansion Theory and its applications. We will then discuss Internal Compressible Flows which play a vital role in the design of engineering applications.

Shock-Expansion Theory
When a supersonic flow deviates from its flow path because of any reason, such as the presence of solid objects, shock and expansion waves are generated. The focus of this course is on analyzing these compressible supersonic waves. We will first study normal shocks and how ...Read more

Internal Compressible Flows
Many critical engineering applications such as jet engines, rocket engines, gas pipelines, wind tunnels, etc., rely on internal compressible flows. While designing these systems engineers try to achieve their goals with minimal losses from compressible waves and fricti...Read more
