Explore Hypersonic Aerodynamics–one of the most sought after capabilities in the aerospace and defense arena. Understand the many aspects of Hypersonics and how it differs from flights at lower speeds. Learn about aerodynamics under extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. Estimate lift and drag, thermodynamic properties, and heating of hypersonic vehicles. Examine what conditions arise in missile and lifting body designs in hypersonic flight.
What You Will Learn: • Shock relations from the perspective of an infinite Mach number limit • Approximate and exact methods for hypersonic inviscid flows • Local surface inclination methods • Transport in hypersonic flows, including approximate methods for estimating skin friction and heat transfer rates • Design of waveriders • Advanced topics in hypersonic flow effects including shock-shock and shock-boundary layer interactions • Self-similar flows, including the Noh problem and Sedov Blast wave problem • Trajectory analysis
Meet Your Instructor:
Dr. Jason Cassibry earned a B.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Missouri and a M.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Illinois. He earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from UAH, while performing research at NASA MSFC. His research involved numerical modeling of magnetized target fusion for propulsion. Dr. Cassibry also served as a research engineer in the Propulsion Research Center (PRC) at UAH and after receiving his Ph.D., he became an assistant research professor.
Special Guest Lecturer: Dr. Phil Ligrani Dr. Phil Ligrani, Eminent Scholar in Propulsion and Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UAH will present the topics of skin friction, heat transfer and turbulence. Dr. Ligrani earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. His research includes heat transfer, fluid mechanics, gas turbine heat transfer, and compressible flows at transonic and supersonic mach numbers.
