This course is an introduction to aerodynamics which explores the flow over aerofoils, wings, and bluff bodies. Potential flow is used to develop the theory of flow over aerofoils and wings, using both classical and numerical methods, such as thin-aerofoil theory, vortex panel methods, and lifting-line theory. Wind tunnel experiments are performed to study the flow over various aerodynamic shapes. Additional topics may include supersonic aerofoils and aircraft performance.

Prerequisite(s): ME 335.3 or (EP 271.3 and PHYS 323.3).
