Subsonic Aerodynamics and Wings

Module code: EMS514U

Credits: 15.0
Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Nikolaos Bempedelis

This module considers viscous and inviscid incompressible flows over the aerofoils and aircraft wings. The concepts of boundary layers, flow control, inviscid flows, stream function, velocity potential, vorticity and
circulation are developed and solutions of flow over some simple twodimensional bodies are discussed. From this basis, methods are developed for the estimation of the performance of wings. Flow control and the initiatives by aircraft industries and the international research centres are an integral part of the module.
