. "Microgravity flows"@en . . "6.0" . "Before entering the master of science program, aerospace engineers are already acquainted with the basic principles of fluid motion being trained on fundamental aspects of aerodynamics and gas dynamics. This level of knowledge is however deeply insufficient to understand how, even ordinary, fluids, such as air and water, behave in low gravity. The reduced weight adds indeed to the complexity of fluid behavior and enhances the effects of forces like surface tension that are usually negligible at the human scale on the Earth. In addition to that, the long permanence in the restricted environment of the spaceship, or, respectively, inside habitation modules, requires confidence with the more complex physiological fluids, and an understanding of how rheologically exotic fluids may behave.\n\nIn this framework, the course in microgravity flows is dedicated to providing the students interested in the microgravity environment with the appropriate tools to understand and design fluidic applications for and in the context of space sciences. The overall purpose is to train the students to identify the challenges posed by fluid motions in space systems and to propose effective solutions to problems involving their dynamics in the context of payload design, onboard systems, and manned missions.\nIn this context, the following educational objectives are envisioned for the course in Microgravity Flows.\nKnowledge:\n- Provide the students with a basic understanding of the equations governing fluid motion starting from basic principles, leading them to master the most fundamental models of fluid rheology, surface effects, and the processes of phase change in fluids under microgravity.\n- Introduce the student to the behavior of soft materials and physiological fluids, with emphasis on hemodynamics and the lymphatic system and their response to the low gravity environment.\n- Understand the effect of fluid motion on the dynamics of a spacecraft.\nKnow-how:\n- Capacity to identify the relevant model to describe different kinds of fluid motions in microgravity and understand the relevant application context.\n- Capacity to conceive basic microfluidic systems and define the fabrication procedure at the prototypal level.\n- Capacity to translate the mathematical models of fluid motion into computational algorithms.\n- Capacity to perform numerical simulations and interpret the results.\n- Define the main characteristics of an experiment involving fluids in microgravity, select the most appropriate platform for its realization, and interpret the data.\nSoft skills:\n- Ability to produce a report concerning technical aspects of fluid motion in the space environment.\n- Ability to actively work in a team and contribute ideas to a given project.\n- Ability to publicly discuss and explain aspects related to fluid motion in low gravity to both technical and general audiences." . .

"The Master Degree in Space and Astronautical Engineering aims to provide students with advanced scientific and professional training with specific engineering skills that enable them to face complex problems associated with the analysis, development, simulation and optimization of systems and subsystems. The Programme also provides students with an appropriate training regarding the fundamental issues related to launchers, interplanetary missions of space vehicles, reentry capsules and manned space missions, focusing on their systemic and scientific aspects. \n\nThe education it provides is primarily aimed at developing the most advanced research and design tools and innovation in the space industry, with particular reference to improving efficiency and reducing weights.\n\nThese skills are achievable thanks to the in-depth study of the knowledge already acquired during the Bachelors Degree, which is deepened during the two-year Masters Degree from a methodological and practical point of view.\n\nThe educational programme envisions a first year during which the knowledge in the distinctive sectors of Space and Astronautical Engineering (Compressible Flow, Space Constructions, Space Flight Mechanics, Space Propulsion systems, Space Systems Engineering) is consolidated and basic information is in areas such as Electronic and Control Engineering is provided.\n\nDuring the second year, the Curricula envision elective subjects. Students can choose three modules for a total of 18 Credits among the distinctive elective subjects.\n\nVarious curricula are provided to enable the students to focus on the study of launchers, space platforms, the planning of space and interplanetary missions and space remote sensing. An additional curriculum that provides general skills in the sector is taught completely in English.\n\nThe amount of hours that students must devote to personal study or for other individual educational activities amounts to at least 60% of the total number of hours required to obtain the Masters Degree.\n\nThe Masters Degree in Space and Astronautical Engineering is part of an Italian-French Network that enables students to acquire a double-Degree at selected universities and Grandes écoles in Paris, Grenoble, Toulouse, Nantes and Nice. The agreement between Sapienza Univesity and the French institutes indicate the procedures and the qualifications that can be acquired at each of the schools participating in the agreement.\n\nMore information at: https://corsidilaurea.uniroma1.it/en/corso/2022/31825/obiettivi-formativi"@en . . . . . . .
