AA210A - Useful Web Sites

This is my web site where the AA 210A notes can be found in pdf format along with the course summary and homework assignments. http://www.stanford.edu/~cantwell/ This Virginia Tech web site has a useful app for calculating the properties of a one-dimensional compressible flow. The app is not downloadable as far as I can tell. http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~devenpor/aoe3114/calc.html This web site has a downloadable app for calculating the properties of a one-dimensional compressible flow. It works on Mac system 9 but not OSX. http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~mason/Mason_f/MRsoft.html This Penn State site has a very useful app for drawing phase portraits. http://www.math.psu.edu/melvin/phase/newphase.html

Useful Web Sites - pictures and videos

Lots of interesting flow pictures. http://www.efluids.com/efluids/pages/gallery.htm This MIT site has the Fluid Mechanics Films produced for the National Science Foundation in the 1960s available in streaming video. You need Real Player to view the films. Highly recommended. http://web.mit.edu/fluids/www/Shapiro/ncfmf.html More beautiful flow pictures.

Useful Web Sites - short video lectures

One of the most interesting developments in recent years has been the creation of new, free websites dedicated to online teaching. Perhaps the best of these is the amazingly extensive set of lectures put up by Sal Khan who lives in Los Altos just south of Stanford. While there are really no lectures on the site directly connected to compressible flow, there are several on calculus and thermodynamics that might be useful. The TA's and I have looked at the Khan Academy site and the links to the lectures we suggest are below. They typically run ten minutes or less. I am suggesting these for the first time this year as a means of review if you feel you are rusty on these subjects. I would like to get your feedback as to whether you find the lectures useful. Feel free to suggest others you might like.
