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.
