TMMV56 Aerodynamics, continues course, 6 ECTS credits.
/Aerodynamik fk/

For:   M   MEC  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 44
Rec. self-study hours: 116

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim is to provide skills so that the student can use advanced tools to conduct aerodynamic calculations aiming to assess performance like lift and drag etc. This means identification of the problem and a suitable approach to model the flow, and to analyze, assess, and evaluate the results.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Aerodynamics basic course

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Computational fluid dynamics

Organisation:
Seminars, computer exercises, and laboratory exercise.

Course contents:
  • Repetition of basic aerodynamic terminology.
  • Fundamental CFD (e.g. mesh, discretization, and numerical schemes) is discussed.
  • The course primarily deals with inviscid flow (Euler calculations). The influence of viscosity for different flow problems and how to handle this will be discussed briefly.
  • Compressible effects, like shock waves, and how to handle these.
  • Flow around aircraft will be in focus.
