MECH 470 - Intro to Applied Aerodynamics

Institution:

The Citadel

Subject:

Description:

The fundamental laws of fluid mechanics are used to develop the characteristic forces and moments generated by the flow about aerodynamic bodies. Physical properties of the standard atmosphere as well as lift, drag, and aerodynamic moments are studied for airfoils (2-D) and finite wings (3-D) in the subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. Students conduct computer simulations throughout the course to observe the physics of actual flows.
