ENGR J4000 Perturbation Techniques
The application of perturbation methods in the solution of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems. Formulation of the mathematical techniques in perturbation theory. Topics include: regular and singular problems, the method of strained coordinates, and matched asymptotic expansions. Applications to viscous flow at low and high Reynolds numbers, mechanical vibrations, and celestial mechanics problems.
