Advanced Aerodynamics - 535.670

This course provides the basic aerodynamic concepts and tools for aerospace vehicle design and analysis, focusing on physical-based approaches with some introduction to numerical-based methods, where experimental wind tunnel or flight test data are considered as the benchmark results. The physical-based part will emphasize inviscid-incompressible flow followed by inviscid-compressible flow and introducing some basic elements of viscous flow plus a brief introduction to computational fluid dynamics (CFD), as the numerical-based methods.

Course Prerequisite(s)

***Mechanical Engineering students only: Must complete core course first (EN.535.641 Mathematical Methods for Engineers).
