Teaching

courses taught

  • ASEN 3111 - Aerodynamics
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2018 / Spring 2020 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Spring 2023
    Develops the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics and provides a working knowledge for their application to the design of aircraft and launch vehicles operating at various speeds and altitudes, as well as the atmospheric forces on satellites.
  • ASEN 3711 - Aerodynamics
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2024
    Introduces models for the analysis of subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flow. Teaches methodologies for the prediction of aerodynamics forces and moments experienced by aircraft. Develops a fundamental understanding of gas dynamics in nozzles with application to aircraft and rocket propulsion.
  • ASEN 5051 - Fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2021 / Fall 2023
    Highlights physical properties of gases and liquids; kinematics of flow fields; and equations describing viscous, heat-conducting Newtonian fluids. Emphasizes exact solutions and rational approximations for low and high speed dissipative flows, surface and internal waves, acoustics, stability, and potential flows. Recommended prerequisite: ASEN 3111 or ASEN 3711 (minimum grade B) or an equivalent course.
  • ASEN 5331 - Computational Fluid Dynamics Unstructured Grid
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019
    Focuses on unstructured grid computational approaches to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. Assumes a basic knowledge of the solution of partial differential equations with numerical methods with focus finite element/volume methods (FEM/FVM but primarily FEM). These issues include: the discrete formulation, non-linear equation iterator, linear equation formation, boundary condition prescription and linear equation solution.
  • ASEN 5519 - Special Topics
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2020 / Spring 2021
    Reflects upon specialized aspects of aerospace engineering sciences. Course content is indicated in the online Class Search. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours. Recommended prerequisite: varies.
