MTFC involvement in the teaching of the School of Engineering includes basic engineering courses at the undergraduate level and more advanced courses at the graduate level.
Introduction to the principles of aerodynamics, including 2D potential flow theory, 3D effects, viscous boundary layer theory and high-speed compressible aerodynamics.
Introduction to turbulence in incompressible flows, including Kolmogorov theory, wall-bounded and free shear turbulent flows, RANS modeling and higher-fidelity approaches (LES, DNS).
Introduction to the microscopic description of complex fluids and their respective macroscopic non-Newtonian behavior.
Introduction to the principles of heat transfer, including conduction, convection and radiation.
Introduction to the basics of CFD, including the finite difference and finite volume methods, stability and numerical error analysis, and iterative methods.
Half-day workshop that introduces the basic principles of written and oral scientific communication.
