Offered Fall 2004 |
|
I. Course Description: Introduction to Navier Stokes (momentum) equation, derivation of asymptotic solutions for laminar flows
with emphasis on incompressible fluids; applications include unsteady flow, low Reynolds number flow,

| ME 405/505: Capillary Flows and Phenomena I & II |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part I offered Fall 2003, Part II offered Winter 2004 |
|
I and II. Course Description: Analysis of capillary driven, dominated, or otherwise influenced flows; the fundamental properties of surface tension and the
concept of contact angle; interface shapes, stability, and dynamics; applications to wetting and spreading
of flows on surfaces and the importance of the moving contact line and viscous normal stress; effects of surface roughness and wettability; dimensional analyses for a variety of flow scenarios;
film coating, capillary flows in tubes and in complex geometries, jets, drops and bubbles, select multiphase flows, and special attention to large lengthscale phenomena characteristic of the
low-gravity environment aboard spacecraft. 3-D modeling of complex equibrium surfaces and numerical prediciton of interface stability. The class
involves the development of theoretical, experimental, and numerical methods. |

| ME 410/510: Asymptotic Methods in Transport |
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be offered Fall 2004 |
|
I. Course Description: Asymptotic techniques for simplification of complex problems in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer (transport). The techniques learned will
find direct application in system modeling, data reduction, and guidance of complex experimentation and/or testing and 3-D computer modeling.
Applied mathematical techniques focus on, but are not limited to, thermal-fluids sciences. |

| ME 406: Special Projects in Thermal/Fluid Sciences |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I. Course Description: Up to 4 ME technical elective credits may be obtained by completing special project(s) pertinent to current research problems under study in the ME department at PSU. Previous examples include
experiments designed and performed aboard NASA's low-g aircraft (A. Frechette, Class 2003) and terrestrial experiments and data reduction for microscale fluid
dynamics applications pertinent to spacecraft and lab on chip technologies (D. Schlitt, Class 2004). The most recent project involved a team of 4 students who designed, built and launched
PSU's first high altitude balloon. It reached over 116,000ft while making atmospheric measurements, taking images, and carrying a proprietary payload. Full story can be seen at the LAUNCH PSU website (Spring 2004: Students--R. Jensen
J. Hatch, J. Cloer, D. Roper). |
