Advanced Mathematics Fluid Mechanics I and II Aerodynamics I

Fundamental and applied knowledge of Aerodynamics. Fundamental and applied knowledge of the principles that allow the prediction of forces and moments on bodies moving through a fluid. In particular, generation of lift, drag and moments on wings (subsonic and supersonic regimes) and fuselage (slender bodies). Understanding of the basic principles in experimental Aerodynamics: physical similarity, wind tunnels and measurements.

Incompressible 3D potential flow. Basic solutions. Green's formula Wings of finite span in incompressible flows. Lifting surface theory. Application to Slender wings. Numerical lifting surface method. Wings of finite span in supersonic flows. Linearized protential. Supersonic source. Subsonic and supersonic edges. Evvard formulas and integration rules. Global characteristics of supersonic wings. Wings of finite span in subsonic flows. Prandtl Glauert analogy. Swept wings. Slender body theory. Problem formulation for revolution bodies. Transversal forces. Longitudinal forces. Experimental aerodynamics. Similarity principles. Wind tunnel design. Measurement and visualisation techniques.

Theory sessions. Problem sessions working individually and in groups using specific software Lab-sessions in computer room and in the wind tunnel.
