Aeronautical and industrial aerodynamics

(ENG)

K Hourigan

4 points + 22 lectures and 11 tutorial/laboratory classes + Second semester + Clayton + Prerequisites: MEC2430, MEC3405

Synopsis: The aerodynamics of aircraft flight, especially aspects of aircraft performance, control and static stability. The industrial aerodynamics section will first develop the fundamentals of bluff body aerodynamics, turbulence effects and separated flows and then lead to applications in the aerodynamic loading of structures and duct flows.

Assessment: Examination: 80% + Laboratory and design assignments: 20%
