Dynamics of compressible flow and similarity

(15h Lec. 10 h Tut., 3 ECTS) J.M. Foucaut

This course is the continuation of dynamics of viscous flow.

The case of the inviscid compressible flow is treated according to the isentropic assumption and finally for normal and oblique shock waves. The theory of similarity is discussed with emphasis on the Reynolds number. The analysis of the Navier-Stokes equations by orders of magnitude and normalization is detailed; to finish with the boundary layer equations and an introduction to linear stability and transition.
