1.
Outline
Aerodynamics is a key academic research area for developing, designing, manufacturing, operating and maintaining airplanes, aero-engines, gas turbines, steam turbines, fans, blowers, compressors, automobiles and trains. Students will study a well-established textbook and be given exercises dealing with practical problems. Through this series of lectures on aerodynamics, students will acquire abilities to find, to analyze and to solve problems and technical communication skills. These technical abilities and skills are essential for students who wish to become expert engineers or researchers in this field. Students will be able to acquire the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes described in the diploma policy DP1 and DP2.
2.
Objectives
The goals of this course are to understand the fundamental ideas and introduction methods of basic equations of aerodynamics and to acquire applied skill for defining problems and introducing equations to bring solutions for actual engineering issues in the related fields.
3.
Grading Policy
The learning results are evaluated according to exercises (50%) during the lectures and reports (50%). All reports are evaluated and returned to the students. The evaluation results are explained by the lecturer. All exercises are explained during lecture time.

4.
Textbook and Reference
Text: Elements of Gas Dynamics - H. W. Liepmann and A. Roshko, Dover Publications, Mineola, New York, paperback edition ISBN 978-0-486-41963-3.(reference price of amazon.co.jp 2,499 JPY)

5.
Requirements (Assignments)
Students are required to prepare the lectures by reading the textbook and consulting reference literature beforehand. Students are also required to review lectures and exercises. Students will need at least two hours for preparation and one hour for review except lecture time.
