Course Goal
To help you develop a strong foundation in the fundamentals of fluid mechanics.

Grading
The grading in the course will be based upon scores on the homework and exams with the following
weights:
Homework 30%
Midterm Exam I 20% TBA
Midterm Exam II 20% TBA
Final Exam 30% TBA
In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are
subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. Here
are ways to get information about changes in this course: the course web site and my email address
(blaisdel@purdue.edu ). In the event that Purdue’s computer systems are down for an extended period of
time, an attempt will be made to make information available through Google Groups with the group
name PurdueAAE511fall2011. (This group is not set up yet.)
Course Notes
The lecture notes will be made available on Blackboard. Students are responsible for printing the course
notes before lecture so they can add material to the printed notes during class. If you miss class, please
get the missing material for the notes from another student. The notes contain copyrighted material;
therefore, do not post the PDF files on the Internet or share them with anyone else. They are only
intended for the benefit of students in this course.
Homework
Assignments will be made on Fridays and generally due on the following Friday. The homework
problems will be posted on Blackboard, and students are responsible for accessing them and turning in
the solved problems by the due date. Late homework will be accepted (unless otherwise noted), but at
reduced credit. Homework due Friday may be turned in by the beginning of the next class at 90% credit.
No homework will be accepted after that time. All the problems must be turned in at the same time.
You may get help from one another on the homework, but you must hand in your own work. The work
must be legible and well organized.
Course Level
The material in this course is taught at an introductory graduate level. AAE 511 is intended to be a
Masters level course. It is also an appropriate course to broaden or strengthen the background of Ph.D.
students. Undergraduate students have successfully completed this course and some have done very
well; however, generally speaking this course has proved to be a challenge to undergrads. Therefore, I
recommend that undergraduate students meet with me to discuss whether they should take this
course.
Missed Classes
I plan to be out of town Monday October 28 and Monday November 25. University policy states for
each evening exam given a lecture must be missed. The dates of the exams will be determined later in
the semester; however, the above dates will be the dates of the corresponding canceled classes.
