Aerodynamics and Hydodynamics

Catalog description

This course extends fluid mechanics topics to the development of air flight vehicle aerodynams and marine hydrodynamics with the application of these principles to the solution of engineering problems. Aerodynamic topics include; aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, thin airfoil theory, lifting line theory, and supersonic and hypersonic airfoil theory. Hydodynamics topics include; linear and nonlinear surface waves and forces on structure and floating bodies.
