Course Title:
Aerodynamics
Course Description:
Focuses on topics of practical importance in applications of fluid mechanics to external flows over bodies. Topics include compressible flow analysis in order to use the concepts of sound speed and Mach number and to design subsonic and supersonic nozzles, diffusers, and airfoils. Normal and oblique shock waves and the Prandtl-Meyer expansion are introduced and applied to supersonic flows over bodies and surfaces. Rayleigh and Fanno flows are discussed. The Bernoulli equation and potential flow theory are studied and applied to external flow analyses and the theory of lift generation on airfoils.
