Engineering Aerodynamics
Course Title
Engineering Aerodynamics
Course Description
Introduction to the lift, drag, and moment of two-dimensional airfoils, three-dimensional wings, and the complete airplane. Calculations of the performance and stability of airplanes in subsonic flight. The course run on two loosely aligned parallel tracks: a traditional sequence of lectures covering the basic topics in aerodynamics and a set of projects on vortex dynamics and aerodynamics that are loosely aligned with lectures. The distinguishing factor will be the extend of the projects assigned to the graduate level participants, which will be substantially more involved than those expected from the senior level participants.
