MEE 463 - Aerodynamics

This course is an extension of the first course in fluid mechanics to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in both subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. The governing equations of aerodynamics are derived and then applied to a variety of scenarios. Topics include potential flows, panel methods, boundary layer theory, turbulence modeling, compressible flow, and an introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) using ANSYS. Aerodynamics problems will be solved analytically, experimentally, and computationally. Programming in MATLAB will be used extensively in this course. Lecture 3 hrs., Lab 1 hr.
