Overview
This unit covers a more advanced study of the aerodynamics of aircraft wings and aerofoil sections than introduced in previous units. Topics are covered in sufficient depth that you will understand the essential aerodynamic principles applied to aircraft wing design. The notable features of wing and airfoil aerodynamics are outlined, including transition and the analysis of viscous flows. Methods for the analysis and prediction of airfoil and finite wing aerodynamics are covered, together with an introduction to procedures for quantitative design.
Offerings in 2022
The 2022 handbook lists no offerings for MAE4409.
Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Analyse 2D viscous flow past an airfoil using a viscous-inviscid method.
- 2
Analyse 3D flow over a wing using a vortex-lattice method.
- 3
Analyse the effect of wing geometric variations on spanload.
Workload and teaching
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
