Aerodynamics

Catalog description

This course provides a theoretical foundation in classical aerodynamics, focusing on the behavior of inviscid and compressible fluid flows. Students will explore the fundamental principles governing airfoil and wing theory, potential flow, boundary layer behavior, and shock wave phenomena. Emphasis is placed on analytical methods and physical interpretation rather than experimental or computational techniques. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze aerodynamic forces and flow behavior in both subsonic and supersonic regimes using first principles and classical models.
