MAE3401 Aerodynamics 2

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Predict pertinent characteristics such as drag, lift, mass flow rate and pressure drop of internal and external incompressible aerodynamic flows.

2. 2

   Derive the governing equations for incompressible viscous wall-bounded flows such as channel, pipe and boundary layer flows, and apply these equations to calculate the drag due to skin friction in incompressible laminar and turbulent wall-bounded flows.

3. 3

   Derive the governing equations for incompressible viscous free-shear flows such as jets and wakes and apply these equations to calculate the propulsion and bluff-body drag, respectively in these incompressible laminar and turbulent  free-shear flows.

4. 4

   Formulate engineering solutions for the external and internal aerodynamics of flight vehicles by synthesis of incompressible, viscous flow theories.

5. 5

   Analyse convective heat transfer of internal and external viscous aerodynamic flows operating in the laminar and turbulent regime.

6. 6

   Justify the analytical framework and data sources employed in the development of engineering solutions, aerodynamic designs and aerodynamic laboratory experiments when reporting their work.
