Nach positiver Absolvierung der Lehrveranstaltung sind Studierende in der Lage:
External flows, aerodynamic forces and moments; skin friction, pressure drag and lift; incompressible flow around an airfoil; NACA airfoils; modern low-speed NASA airfoils; Finite wings; Linear theory for subsonic and supersonic compressible flow over an airfoil; elements of hypersonic flow. All themes will be illustrated via examples and exercises.
The course is divided in frontal lectures (2/3 of the course) and exercise lecture (1/3 of the course). Lectures will be given in class, with the use of slides and electronic whiteboard.
Registration to the course is mandatory.
Bibliography:
The final exam is a written examination including both questions on theory and exercises.
Students are expected to have a solid knowledge on fundamentals of fluid mechanics and gas dynamics.
