AE 598 class schedule data for fall 2012
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	60076	Lecture-Discussion	GSE	1:00PM -2:59PM	MW	225A Talbot Laboratory	Elliott, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/12-12/12/12 Section Title: Diagnostics for Aerodyn & Prop 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, and graduate level fluid mechanics class (AE 412) or consent of instructor.
	60444	Lecture	MGD	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	Talbot Laboratory	Panesi, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/27/12-12/12/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: The course provides the basic knowledge of the kinetic theory of gases, chemical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. These analytical tools will then be applied to the study of equilibrium gas properties over wide temperature ranges, the kinetics of physical and chemical reactions, and the interaction of matter with radiation. The course material is useful in studies of combustion chemistry, high temperature and rarefied gas dynamics, low temperature plasmas, hypersonics, gas diagnostics with lasers, etc.
