Course content
Equations of motion. Potential theory. Streamfunctions. Lifting bodies. Two- and three dimensional wing theory. Panel methods. Lifting line theories. Boundary layers and flow resitance.
Learning outcome
Knowledge:
The course provides the student with knowledge about:
- Pressure and temperature distribution in the atmosphere
- Potential flow theory
- Transfer of forces between a fluid and an arbitrarily shaped body; Kutta-Joukowski's theorem
- Properties of airfoils
- Panel methods and thin airfoil theory
- Effects of finite wing span; vortex lattice methods.
The course gives the student knowledge about:
- How the shape of the airfoil affects its lift and drag properties
- Why finite wing span reduces lift and increases drag
- How the wing shape affects its performance.
Skills:
- The course should enable the student to:
- Calculate lift generated by an airfoil
- Design a wing with prescribed performance characteristics
- Calculate the performance of an airplane to determine cruise-, landing and maximum velocities etc.
General competence:
The course should give the student:
- When the student has finished the course, he/she shall have general knowledge of aerodynamics
- The student should be able to select an airfoil and make a wing design for a specific application.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, calculation problems half of which must be accepted. The lectures and exercises are in English when students who do not speak Norwegian take the course. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
