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.
