This note covers the following topics:
Fluid mechanics foundations, Drag, Aircraft Configuration Design Options,
Aerodynamic Design including use of Computational Aerodynamics, Subsonic
aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, Transonic aerodynamics of airfoils and
wings, Aerodynamics of high lift devices or powered lift, High angle of attack
aerodynamics, Supersonic aerodynamics, Hypersonic aerodynamics.
This note introduces the
concepts of mass,momentum and energy conservation relating to aerodynamics.Also
it make the student understand the concept of vorticity, irrotationality,theory
of airfoils and wing sections.
This Book
covers a small part of the numerous cases of stationary and non stationary
aerodynamics, wave generation and propagation, wind energy, flow control
techniques and, also, sports aerodynamics. It's not an undergraduate text but is
thought to be useful for those teachers and researchers which work in the
several branches of applied aerodynamics and applied fluid dynamics, from
experiments procedures to computational methods.
