MAE 424LEC - Aerodynamics

Explores flow over airfoils and wings; ideal flow theory; singularity solutions; superposition; source; and vortex panel methods; method of source panels; 2-D airfoil theory; pressure distributions and lift; effects of compressibility; Prandtl’s lifting-line theory; boundary-layer theory; and friction drag. Includes an aerodynamics laboratory experience, considering airfoil characteristics, and boundary-layer measurements.
