| A course on the fundamentals of incompressible inviscid fluid mechanics and
2-D aerodynamics. Topics include fluid statics, flow kinematics, integral and
differential forms of the governing equations, potential flow theory, and thin-airfoil theory. Applications emphasize aeronautics-relevant topics. This
course provides knowledge of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics and
aerodynamics. Fluid mechanics as applied to the theory of flight prepare
students to understand external flows over aircraft including wing design,
drag build-up, and viscous phenomena. The course concludes with an
introduction to modern computational fluid dynamic tools. ***This is a provisionally approved course for the Aerospace Engineering Major (AEN0) and must undergo review by the Curriculum Committee NLT AY26-2. Pending ABET-PEV review of ET=3.0CR.*** |
