The aim of the course:
To provide with a general information about incompressible flow around bodies, the calculation of the forces and moments on the wing and to gain the ability to design aerodynamic structure.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : gain information on aerodynamics.1,21
LO - 2 : learn types of flow and fundamental principles and equations and theorems about incompressible flow.1,21
LO - 3 : calculate the forces and moments on different bodies.1,21
LO - 4 : analyse incompressible flow over finite wings.1,21
LO - 5 : can applied the force and moment equations on calculation drag force acting on a two-dimensional body, and can use in design.1,21,6
