Aeronautical and industrial aerodynamics ( 6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSL)

Leader: K Hourigan

Offered:
Not offered in 2005.

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 (2 hours): 70% + Laboratory and design assignments: 30%

Contact Hours: 22 lectures and 22 hours of practice class/laboratory classes

Prerequisites: MEC3465 or MAE3965
