PROF:  Paul Palies

This course is focused on data sciences applied to fluid mechanics numerical simulations and experimental data. As computational power increases, it enables to model industrial applications and fluid mechanics processes by Computational Fluid Dynamics tools with more spatial and time resolutions as well as considering sub-system-level simulations. The amount of data generated is significant and requires dedicated methods and techniques to interrogate and analyses them. Within this context, this class aims at presenting flowfield decompositions, selected CFD discretization’s algorithm to solve for basic flow, and data analyses techniques such as FFT, POD, and DMD. The students undertake implementation of the presented algorithms in R, MatLab, and/or Python. The basics of these tools are also introduced. There are three major elements tackled during this special topic: Introduce static/dynamic flow (SDFD) and other flow decompositions, Conduct implementation of the relevant equations for selected flows, Conduct data analyses and implementation of algorithm to interrogate and visualize data (CFD data and experimental flame images) including FFT, Phase-locking, POD, DMD and other recent techniques.

This course examines the application of systems engineering principles, methods and tools on complex development programs where a systems thinking approach is needed. Case studies are used throughout the course work to provide real-world examples and the associated lessons learned from industry and government programs. Systems engineering focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering all aspects of the product lifecycle including cost, schedule, test, manufacturing, performance, operations, and end-of-life. This course emphasizes the strong linkage between systems engineering and program management and the need to integrate these disciplines to improve complex program performance. The course concludes with a call-to-action to become the engineering change-agents needed today to improve program performance on complex development programs.

This course focuses on aeroacoustics and combustion noise for aerospace systems. The goals are to (i) describe aeroacoustics processes and sources with experiment, numerical and theoretical examples, (ii) derive existing theories for sound propagation modeling, (iii) understand and implement computational aeroacoustics on canonical examples. The next step is on combustion noise which can be associated with the aeroacoustics of reactive systems. Examples from literature are discussed and the underlying modeling strategy presented as well as the derivation made. The novel Advanced Topics proposes to describe and understand known aeroacoustics theories and their utilization in both non-reacting and reacting conditions.

This course is focused on data sciences applied to fluid mechanics numerical simulations and experimental data. As computational power increases, it enables to model industrial applications and fluid mechanics processes by Computational Fluid Dynamics tools with more spatial and time resolutions as well as considering sub-system-level simulations. The amount of data generated is significant and requires dedicated methods and techniques to interrogate and analyses them. Within this context, this class aims at presenting flowfield decompositions, selected CFD discretization’s algorithm to solve for basic flow, and data analyses techniques such as FFT, POD, and DMD. The students undertake implementation of the presented algorithms in R, MatLab, and/or Python. The basics of these tools are also introduced. There are three major elements tackled during this special topic: Introduce static/dynamic flow (SDFD) and other flow decompositions, Conduct implementation of the relevant equations for selected flows, Conduct data analyses and implementation of algorithm to interrogate and visualize data (CFD data and experimental flame images) including FFT, Phase-locking, POD, DMD and other recent techniques.

This is a three-credit hour course.   Laptop is required as well as background in MatLab, R or Python.

This course examines the application of systems engineering principles, methods and tools on complex development programs where a systems thinking approach is needed. Case studies are used throughout the course work to provide real-world examples and the associated lessons learned from industry and government programs. Systems engineering focuses on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering all aspects of the product lifecycle including cost, schedule, test, manufacturing, performance, operations, and end-of-life. This course emphasizes the strong linkage between systems engineering and program management and the need to integrate these disciplines to improve complex program performance. The course concludes with a call-to-action to become the engineering change-agents needed today to improve program performance on complex development programs.
