A continuation of MAE 4790. Completion of the design topics. Includes the option to advance the design to the critical design stage and build prototypes. Final report and oral presentations. Pre-requisite: MAE 4790

Discussion of turbulence in engineering and natural systems; turbulent flow physics and statistical properties for velocity, kinetic energy, and dissipation; turbulent length, velocity, and time scales; turbulence governing equations and modeling.  Multiphase flow in engineering and natural systems; particle characteristics, multiphase flow equations of motion, trajectories and coupling regimes, including turbulent particle interactions.  Prerequisite MAE 3210 or CE 3210 or equivalent 

Required one-hour weekly seminar for graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Students enrolled may make formal presentations of their research work. 

For master's students.

Formal documentation of faculty supervision of thesis research. Each full-time, resident Master of Science student in mechanical and aerospace engineering is required to register for this course for the number of credits equal to the difference between his or her regular course load (not counting the one-credit MAE 7510 seminar) and 12.

For doctoral students.

Formal documentation of faculty supervision of dissertation research. Each full-time resident doctoral student in mechanical and aerospace engineering is required to register for this course for the number of credits equal to the difference between his or her regular course load (not counting the one-credit MAE 8591 seminar) and 12.
