Course Objectives

To supply graduate students with the knowledge of nonequilibrium flows of gases at the molecular level. To enable students to understand the kinetic theory and to study translational, vibrational and chemical nonequilibrium flows of gases.


Course Content

High temperature flows. Equilibrium and nonequilibrium kinetic theories. Flows with translational nonequilibrium. Flows with vibrational and chemical nonequilibrium. Radiative gas dynamics.
