39788	Lecture-Discussion	CFD	9:00AM -9:50AM	MWF	Engineering Hall	Evrard, F	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/26/24-12/11/24 Section Title: Applied CFD Section Info: Undergraduate should take this course for 3 hours and Graduate students should take this course for 4 hours. This course provides an introduction to the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to solve fluid dynamics problems relevant to aerospace engineering. Instruction on the end-to-end workflow, including geometry definition, grid generation, solver selection, solver execution, and solution analysis will be given. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring solution accuracy through verification and validation. Students will be given access to CFD codes and will predict the aerodynamic behavior of several different flow configurations; both low-speed and high-speed applications will be examined.

This course will cover thin-walled structures (e.g., plates, stiffened shells, cylindrical shells) for the topics in launch vehicle structures and will focus on deployable structures for spacecraft structures. The topics related to deployable structures will include a broad set of designs ranging from rigid pin-jointed trusses and plates to foldable and flexible structures and inflatable membranes. This course will integrate the current advances in spacecraft structures R&D into the instruction through traditional lectures, in-class making/folding of paper model structures, hands-on projects, literature reviews, and guest lectures. All the hands-on activities planned in this course will only use commonly available materials such as print paper and online students can participate in these activities. Prerequisite: AE 323. Undergraduate should take this course for 3 hours and Graduate students should take this course for 4 hours.
