Klimenko’s  Teaching page

A.Y.Klimenko has taught more than 15 different courses in the areas of thermofluids, mathematical methods and advanced engineering in 5 universities (U. Sydney, UQ, Cornell, U. of Wyoming, Tsinghua U.).   Old teaching pages with some material might still be here

Advanced education was advocated by Theodor von Karman during his years in CalTech [1]. Von Karman is widely known for his outstanding works in aerodynamics: the vortices he investigated bear his name  (The image  is from Van Dyke’s album  [2] --- great for teaching Fluid Mechanics).
