In this course we shall study atmospheric properties, airfoils, lift and moment acting on an airfoil, lift theory, induced drag on 3-dimensional wings, and viscosity and boundary layers.
Airplanes can fly through the air by the lift that is generated by their wings. In order to generate lift effectively, wings are designed to have a cross-sectional shape (airfoil) appropriate to the desired flight speed, and ailerons and other auxiliary systems may also be used according to circumstances. In addition to understanding the principles behind the generation of lift, we must also study the lift coefficient, drag coefficient, and other key design parameters for evaluating the performance of wings. The perfect fluid theory around wings is essential for a quantitative understanding of lift. Finally, students will also learn how viscosity affects the flow around a wing.
It is important to be able to explain the principle of lift generation.
It depends on your understanding of wing concepts, such as how the lift coefficient and drag coefficient that characterize the wing are related to the angle of attack and Reynolds number.
The evaluation of this course will be mainly done by the final exam (80%).
Beside the final exam, each lecture has the time to practice sample problems for promotion of understanding and will be reflected to attendance and partially to the evaluation(20%).
