ME 3080 Fluid Mechanics (undergraduate level)
- ME 3080 Fluid Mechanics, Fall 2019, Spring 2020, Fall 2020, Spring 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022, Fall 2022, Fall 2023, Fall 2024.
- H 3080 (Honors Course) Fluid Mechanics, Fall 2019, Fall 2020, Fall 2021, Fall 2022, Fall 2023, Fall 2024.
This course introduces and explains fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics, including hydrostatic law, principle of buoyancy, and mass, momentum and energy equations in fluid flow. This course will develop understanding about the basic conservation laws and the Lagrangian and Eulerian forms of the governing equations of fluid mechanics in integral and differential forms. This course also provides a systematic methodology to enable a disciplined and structured approach to solving design problems in the areas of hydrostatics, potential flow, internal and external flows, viscous affected flow, and compressible flow.
ME 4230/6230 Introduction to Aerodynamics (undergraduate + graduate levels)
- ME 4230 Introduction to Aerodynamics, Spring 2022.
- ME 6230 Introduction to Aerodynamics, Spring 2022.
The course covers the basic theories of aerodynamics with the purpose of predicting the aerodynamic forces and moments which act on a vehicle in motion. The course builds on the student’s background in Fluid Mechanics to deal primarily with internal and external flows (low-speed and high-speed) relevant to aerodynamic applications. The course provides an overview of the guiding principles to analyze basic aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft configuration.
ME 8190 Computational Methods in Thermal Sciences (graduate level)
- ME 8190 Computational Methods in Thermal Sciences, Spring 2024.
The course develops an advanced understanding of fluid dynamics and heat transfer phenomena and helps students master numerical methods for simulating fluid flow and thermal processes. The course develops computational abilities in engineering problems using scientific computing and presents a wealth of real-world flow and thermal science examples to demonstrate how computational methods are applied in engineering practice.
ME 8100 Macroscopic Thermodynamics (graduate level)
- ME 8100 Macroscopic Thermodynamics, Spring 2023, Fall 2023.
The course introduces and explains the scientific basis for analyzing and designing a wide range of energy systems and thermodynamic processes. The course provides an extensive study of the first and second law control mass/volume analysis, modeling of thermodynamic properties and a fundamental examination of thermodynamic equilibrium, helps the students develop analytic and computational abilities in real-world engineering applications using thermodynamics principles. The course presents a wealth of real world engineering examples to demonstrate how thermodynamics is applied in engineering practice.
ME 3900/4900 Creative Inquiry + Undergraduate Research (undergraduate levels)
- Creative Inquiry 1895: Soft Matter and Complex Fluids, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.
This creative inquiry will enhance students’ ability of computational thinking by offering computational research projects on soft matter and complex fluids. Soft matter represents soft materials that are easily deformed by thermal fluctuations and small external forces, while complex fluids refer to multi-component soft materials that can flow but display non-Newtonian rheology. Gels, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, emulsions, foams, lipid membranes, cell suspensions, and many biological systems fit this description. Soft matter and complex fluids are ubiquitous in nature and play an important role in many industrial and biological applications, from soft construction materials, food processing industries, to biomimetic soft materials and artificial tissues.
Computational research projects will be offered dependent on the research background and interest of students, including
1. Transport phenomena in complex fluids,
2. Microfluidics and multiphase flows,
3. Drop microphysics and interfacial phenomena,
4. Self-assembly of polymers,
5. Rheology and mechanics of wet foams,
6. Lipid membranes and emulsions,
7. Blood cells and biological flows.
