Computational Aerodynamics

This module aims to develop a basic understanding of Aerodynamic behaviour for both 2D and 3D wings.

Students will require knowledge from Fluid Mechanics leading up to Kutta-Joukowski Theorem.

Students will then apply General Thin Airfoil theory to develop 2D wing flow characteristics and Prandtl’s lifting line theory to derive Aerodynamic coefficients for 3D finite wings.

Students will also be required to learn and apply mentioned knowledge through computational methods so as to understand the derived equations better.
