At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. understand the limitations of theory and the effect of second-order parameters (Reynolds number, Mach Number) to the primary fluid-flow properties
- LO2. construct simple computer algorithms that will allow more complex geometries to be solved and determine the best approach from survey of existing methods
- LO3. predict flow properties for general aircraft wing sections to obtain lift, drag and pitching moment
- LO4. extrapolate section results to predict unsteady flow effects and three-dimensional wing behaviour
- LO5. demonstrate an improved understanding of the use of software packages to solve fluid flow problems
- LO6. undertake experiments and analyse data to verify theoretical predictions
