AE 598 class schedule data for spring 2009
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
49926	Lecture-Discussion	CAA	10:00AM -11:50AM	TR	Mechanical Engineering Bldg	Bodony, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/09-05/06/09 Section Info: 4 hours Topic: Aeroacoustics. Physical mechanisms and mathematical modeling of sound generation and flow-sound interaction; An overview of aeroacoustics theories and computational approaches; Advanced turbulence simulation techniques (DNS, LES, unsteady RANS) for evaluation nonlinear sound sources; Accurate numerical methods and boundary conditions for direct computation of sound generation and propagation. Both engineering biological systems (e.g., the human voice) will be discussed. Prerequisites: Intermediate level courses in fluid mechanics and CFD (or numerical methods).
46225	Lecture-Discussion	GSE	10:00AM -11:20AM	TR	Talbot Laboratory	Elliott, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/09-05/06/09 Section Info: 4 hours Topic: Diagnostics for Aerodynamics and Propulsion. Advanced techniques for measurements in flow fields relevant to aerodynamics and propulsion with an emphasis on laser and optical based techniques; A brief review of experimental procedures and classic diagnostic techniques relevant to aerodynamic and propulsion experiment research. The majority of the course will cover the fundamentals needed to utilize optical and laser based techniques such as interferometry, spectroscopy, laser induced fluorescence, particle image velocimetry, laser based flow visualization, laser Doppler velocimetry, Rayleigh scattering, and pressure/temperature sensitive paint. The course will be divided between lectures, student presentations, and hands-on exercises where the students will utilize the diagnostics in investigative laboratory experiences. Prerequisite: AE 460 or equivalent, or consent of instructor.
51409	Lecture-Discussion	MCF	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Loth, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/09-05/06/09 Section Info: 4 hours. Topic: Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics. Course will concentrate on governing equations and numerical solution of multiphase equations in both Eulerian and Lagrangian reference frames. This includes a review of theoretical and empirical point-force expressions for an individual particle surface force. In addition, resolved-surface techniques, such as immersed-boundary methods and level-set methods will be employed. Prerequisite: Introductory Multiphase course such as CEE 559 Sediment Transport, AE 513: Dispersed Multiphase Flow, or ME 504 Multiphase Systems and Processes.
