Course Contents | Review: Hydrostatics, Control Volume, Mass/Momentum/Energy Conservation, Navier-Stokes equations. Dimensional Analysis: Use of flow similarity and non-dimensional coefficients in aerodynamic modelling. Forces acting on an immersed body: Explain the nature of drag, lift, side-force and their relation to the pressure and shear stress distribution. Inviscid flow: stream-function, circulation and vorticity, potential flow solutions and superposition to evaluate lift and drag force on a body and determine the pressure distribution. Viscous flow: Effects of viscosity and turbulence on the drag and lift force, boundary layer analysis. Compressible flow: Ideal gas properties Isentropic flow of an ideal gas Nonisentropic flow of an ideal gas: duct flow with friction, duct flow with heat transfer | ||||||||

Planned learning activities and teaching methods | The taught part of course is delivered to the students by means of lectures, conducted with the help of both computer presentations and traditional means. Practical examples and exercises are included in the lectures to enhance the material learning process. Lecture notes and presentations are available through the web for students to use in combination with the textbooks. Students are assessed continuously and their knowledge is checked through tests with their assessment weight. | ||||||||
