Aerodynamics, Continued Course

Aim

The aim is to provide skills so that the student can use advanced tools to conduct aerodynamic calculations aiming to assess performance like lift and drag etc. This means identification of the problem and a suitable approach to model the flow, and to analyze, assess, and evaluate the results. The student must be able to describe and motivate the chosen methodology to solve a problem.

Content

• Repetition of basic aerodynamic terminology.
• Fundamental CFD (e.g. mesh, discretization, and numerical schemes) is discussed.
• The course deals with both viscous and inviscid flow (Euler calculations).
• Compressible effects, like shock waves, and how to handle these.
• Flow around aircraft and related things will be in focus, other objects and vehicles are also possible.
