Presents the fundamental topics of gas dynamics, focusing on compressible flows but providing connections to incompressible topics. Topics include analysis of quasi-one-dimensional flow, the partial differential equations governing inviscid compressible flows, linearized flow theory, supersonic flow around cones, and the method of characteristics applied to both steady two-dimensional supersonic flows, and unsteady one-dimensional flows. Recommended prerequisite: ASEN 3111 or equivalent.
