Course Introduction

What I have learned

1. When compressible flow occurs, how it behaves and when a flow becomes hypersonic
2. Scramjet Engine and its configuration

3. How to model 1D compressible flows (Isentropic Flow)
4. The nature of shock waves (Normal Shock and Oblique Shock Waves)
5. The effects on a flow when the flow is hypersonic
6. Scramjet Combustors –  Modeling and Design
7. How scramjet propulsion fits within context of aerospace propulsion

8. High Temperature Effects and Mach Number Independence
9. Hypersonic Vehicle Shapes
10. How to model the performance of a simple 2D scramjet engine
