Syllabus for AE-333 for semester 072
Course Objectives
This course deals with flow of air around objects. While most of the applications in this course are wings and aircraft, a wide variety of applications are also considered in this course i.e. flow around cylinder or sphere. Therefore, this course has a set of objectives that you need to keep on mind during the semester. These objectives will help you keep in track of your learning as the semester progresses.
1. Introduce basic concepts and governing equations of aerodynamics.
2. Provide a clear understanding of the fundamental concepts and theories of incompressible and inviscid aerodynamics.
3. Use mathematical theories (thin airfoil and finite wing theories) to provide approximations to some actual aerodynamic problems we are attempting to solve.
4. Provide a comparison between theory’s results and experimental (actual) results.
5. Introduce viscous flow and boundary layer concepts and the difference between inviscid flow and viscous flow treatments.
6. Enable students to design and execute computational and experimental aerodynamic analysis and design together with members of a team
