AE 598 class schedule data for spring 2012
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
56934	Lecture-Discussion	AS2	10:00AM -11:50AM	TR	ARR Talbot Laboratory	D'Urso, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Aerospace Systems Engr II Section Info: Topic: Aerospace Systems Engineering II. This course addresses the fundamental aerospace industry methods for control of an engineering development effort of a complex aerospace system typical in development of spacecraft, launch vehicles, aircraft, remotely controlled vehicles, and associated supporting infrastructure systems in the current acquisition environments. Standards and techniques to control risk, integration of technologies, and exploration of 'design-to' process tailoring and systematically make design decisions. The student will be exposed to the accepted documentation standards and verification practices for the System Engineering. Class will be held in 302E Talbot Lab.
56785	Lecture-Discussion	DSC	3:30PM -5:20PM	TR	225A Talbot Laboratory	Langbort, C Chung, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Section Title: Distributed Decision Section Info: 4 hours. Topic: Distributed Decision. Studying recent literature on mathematical theory of multi-agent decision in the presence of limited information
57625	Lecture-Discussion	HYP	2:00PM -3:50PM	MW	225A Talbot Laboratory	Austin, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Section Title: Hypersonic Flows Section Info: 3 or 4 hours. Topic: Hypersonic Flows. Fundamentals of fluid mechanics at hypervelocity conditions: thermochemical (real gas) effects, physical gas dynamics, inviscid hypersonic flows, small-disturbance theory, blunt body flows, shock-shock interaction, hypersonic boundary layers, shock-boundary layer interactions, experiments.
58067	Online	MFD	4:00PM -5:15PM	TR	n.a.	Loth, E	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Multiphase Fluid Dynamics Section Info: 3 hours. Topic Multiphase Fluid Dynamics. This course will discuss fluid dynamic and contact interactions for dispersed flow of bubbles, drops and solid particles. The first half topics will discuss particle size distribution, shape and deformation effects, particle dynamics, and turbulent dispersion. The second half will focus on turbulent bias, Brownian diffusion, coupling regimes, particle forces (drag, lift, collisions with other particles and with wall). Pre-requisite: A graduate-level course in fluid dynamics or consent of instructor
57740	Lecture-Discussion	MMM	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	104 Talbot Laboratory	Chew, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Multi-scale Modeling of Materi Section Info: Topic: Multi-scale modeling of materials. The rapid advancement of computational capabilities has led to the discovery of new fundamental mechanics principles at the nanoscale, which are guiding the use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in next generation aerospace applications. This course will introduce the theoretical foundation of multi-scale modeling methods, and will provide students with hands-on modeling and simulation experience at the quantum-mechanical, molecular, and the continuum scales. Particular emphasis will be placed on newly developed bridging techniques, such as inverse solution approaches, to interpret material phenomena across the different size-scales.
