RoMarin2 Project : Romarin is a 2nd year teaching unit of the Mechanical degree program at Sorbonne University, dedicated to the design and experiment a small-scale low-cost Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for underwater data acquisition. This 60-hour educational project is only offered to highly motivated students with a strong academic level. The learning method by active pedagogy is based on the work in autonomy by groups of students, thus supporting personal initiatives and collective emulation for the realization of a technological object and the analysis of scientific data. This project allows the development of transversal skills in engineering, combining fluid mechanics, acoustics, robotics and electronics
Basics of Fluid Structure Interactions
Introduction to Continuum Mechanics
Fundamentals of aerodynamics
Scientific computing for multiplysics problems
Aeroelasticity in Aeronautics (syllabus)

tkaero computes the classical aerodynamic relations for compressible flows of a perfect gas.
This application was designed to provide a complementary tool for students in fluiddynamics to the standard tables of compressible flows. Current version includes isentropic flows, both normal and oblique shock relations and the Prandtl-Meyer expansion.

tkaero-0.2c: snapshot of the oblique shock module

Models: 2DOF and 3DOF airfoils, Goland wing, supersonic panel with nonlinear aerodynamics.
Analysis: divergence, V-g flutter analysis, high-order harmonic balance and time-domain analysis of Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCO),stochastic flutter predictions using Monte Carlo simulations.
