AERO 3314 - Aerodynamics

Credit Hours: 3 Lecture: 2 Lab: 3

This course builds on the student’s background in Fluid Mechanics to deal primarily with flows (low-speed and high-speed) relevant to aerospace applications, with particular emphasis on components related to an airplane. Both inviscid and viscous flows will be considered in the analysis of airfoils, wings, nozzles, and diffusers. This course will also introduce the supersonic and hypersonic environment, inviscid hypersonic flows, hypersonic laminar boundary layers, hypersonic thermo-chemical concepts, and the aero-mechanics of re-entry trajectories for spacecraft and missiles.
