In this course students will develop an understanding of low speed and high-speed aerodynamics of wings and bodies. The course includes the fundamental principles of aerodynamics, the derivation of flow equations, the potential flows in two and three dimensions, the theory of airfoils and wings for inviscid and incompressible flow and the determination of lift and induced drag of finite wings. The course also includes the comprehension of the phenomena related to the aerodynamic behaviour under compressible flow conditions and fundamental principles of viscous flows. Advanced topics include the use of computational fluid dynamics, wind tunnel and experimental testing for vehicles testing and development.
