I primarily teach senior fluid mechanics and aerodynamics courses at the University of Alberta, and I was part of the team that developed the online version of the introductory Fluid Mechanics course at Queen’s University that eventually found heavy utilization during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Current Courses
MEC E 537 – Aerodynamics
Senior-level elective, covering boundary layer theory, potential flow theory, the Kutta condition and thin airfoil theory, and lifting line theory. A brief introduction to flight performance is included to provide applications and examples of the theory covered in class.
MEC E 630 – Fluid Dynamics
Graduate-level core course, covering the Navier-Stokes equations. This class begins with the properties of fluids, the kinematics of fluids via the strain rate and rotation tensors, the Cauchy equation, and finally the Navier-Stokes equations. The Navier-Stokes equations are explored in terms of several special cases: ideal flow, the boundary layer equations, instability and an introduction to turbulence.
Course tools
I have developed a few tools for visualization, interaction or demonstration while delivering aerodynamics and fluid mechanics courses at the University of Alberta. A few of these tools are shared below, and I encourage you to use, share or modify any them in your teaching or private study.
