This specialized course is now to be offered every other Spring, depending on
student interest. It is to be offered in Spring 2024, and was previously
offered in the Spring of 2022, and the Fall of 2019,
2017, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2009, 2007, 2005 and 1999,
and in the Spring of 2003, 2002, 2001 and 1999.
Since Prof. Alexeenko began offering a rarefied gasdynamics course
in Fall 2006 (AAE590D), the rarefied-flow portion of 519
has mostly been replaced with other material. Also, since Prof. Poggie
is now offering a Nonequilibrium Hypersonic Flow course, less time will
be devoted to that portion of
AAE519. Contact the instructor
if you are interested.
