AAE 33301 - Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
Credit Hours: 1.00. A laboratory course designed to illustrate various aerodynamic phenomena. Experiments in incompressible viscous flow; flow measurement and visualization; laminar and turbulent boundary layers; wakes.
Learning Outcomes
1. Measure and differentiate between absolute, differential, and gauge pressure. 2. Make basic pressure and velocity measurements. 3. Utilize elementary flow visualization tools. 4. Deduce fluid physics information from flow visualization. 5. Calculate flow characteristics such as Reynolds number, friction factor, pressure and drag coefficient from laboratory measurements. 6. Identify and discuss foundation-level fluid phenomena including boundary layers, wakes, laminar to turbulent transition, turbulence, flow separation, drag on a body, and surface pressure distributions. 7. Design an experiment to meet a defined objective, conduct the experiment, analyze the data, and draw conclusions.
