Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Mobilize a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialized techniques to meet, with expertise and adaptability, the missions of the civil engineer in energy engineering.
- Master and appropriately mobilize knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to solid and fluid mechanics, energy exchange, dynamic and vibratory behavior of systems, mechanical manufacturing and production, machine operation, physical phenomena, machines, equipment and processes related to the production, conversion and transmission of energy
- Assess the validity of models and results given the state of the science and the characteristics of the problem.
- Communicate and exchange information in a structured manner - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - at the scientific, cultural, technical and interpersonal levels, adapting to the goal pursued and the audience concerned.
- Argue and convince, both orally and in writing, in front of a client, a colleague, teachers and juries.
- Select and use the modes and media of written, graphic or oral communication adapted to the goal and the public concerned.
- Contribute through research to the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
- Collect and analyze data with rigor.
Learning Outcomes of UE
Identify the elements of compressible subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics.
The student will able to understand and determine, when examining gas and vapor flows, the fundamental differences due to compressibility effects between subsonic and supersonic regimes and the various phenomena of saturation and the links between speed, pressure, temperature and density of compressible flows.
UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance
Aerodynamics :Reminder of the notions of lift, drag, Reynolds number and Mach number.
Compressible aerodynamics - Compressible fluids, 1st ans 2nd laws of thermodynamics, Mach number, supersonic speed and rule of forbidden signals: adiabatic and isentropic flows in streamtube of variable sections, Fanno flows, Rayleigh flows, normal and oblique shocks; Prandtl-Meyer flows and Mach waves.
Prior Experience

| I-FLMA-003 | Summative assessment in the form of an oral exam (exercise-type questionnaire with prior preparation of answers followed by oral interaction with the teacher) and takes place over half a day during the session. The material to be known corresponds to that which has been seen during the course and exercise sessions, and the framework of which is found in the copy of the course and exercise notes. The exam is carried out in a "closed book" (WITHOUT the help of any note such as handwritten notes, syllabus, ... or any other medium such as PC, Smart Phone, Tablet, ...). During the exam, the student will receive a compressible aerodynamic exercise questionnaire. The exercise makes direct use of the "compressible aerodynamics" notions of the course and is presented in a form similar to the exercises presented in the course and solved during the exercise and practical work sessions. The evaluation is essentially based on the resolution methodology and the justifications by placing the numerical values of a numerical calculation in the background. The description of the physical phenomena, the justification of the evolutions of the aerodynamic quantities, the reasoning, the chaining of the relations and the justification of the assumptions used therefore constitute an essential part and must, as such, include all the diagrams, flow charts, equations, the graphs and/or drawings necessary to understand the physics and the method of resolution. In the response, it is requested, in particular, to represent the various physical phenomena present and to represent along the configuration the evolution of the Mach number, pressure, total pressure, temperature and total temperature. The oral interaction with the examiner will be based on the student's answers. |
