- Course Content
Lecture:
This course describes the fluid dynamics of air. The course starts from the fundamental equations describing fluid flow. The aerodynamic forces that arise when air flows about a body are analysed. Obviously, wings are studied in particular. The course consists of:
- Introduction
- conservation equations
- wing nomeclature
- lift, drag, aerodynamica moment, Kutta-Joukowski
- Inviscid and incompressible flows
- potential flow
- wings with infinite span
- wings with finite span
- Viscous and incompressible flows
- boundary layer flow, laminar and turbulent boundary layers, transition
- separation
- Aerodynamic coefficients and choices
- Typical lift, drag, moment coefficients
- Criteria for aerofoil selection
- Experimental aerodynamics
Practical exercises:
In the practical exercise sessions students solve problems under supervision.
The selected problems are a direct application of knowledge and concepts gained in the lectures.
Laboratory practicals:
The laboratory practicals support the theoretical course. The practicals should be prepared beforehand and are carried out independently by the student.

- Grading
-
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
- Other Exam
with a relative weight of 100
which comprises 100% of the final mark.
Note: Exam time 1st session:
Lecture and practical exercises: written exam: 75 % (not transferred to 2nd session)
Laboratory practicals: report of the group: 25% (transferred to 2nd session if 10/20 or more)
Exam time 2nd session:
Lecture and practical exercises: written exam: 75 %
Laboratory practicals: report of a replacement assignment: 25%
Not observing the laboratory regulations during the preparation, execution and/or reporting of the practicum, may result in a zero for the considered practicum.
- Additional info regarding evaluation
An illegitimate absence of more than 25 % at the laboratory practicals leads to an absent quotation for the laboratory practicals. The sanctions taken in the first exam session are transferred to the second exam session.
- Allowed unsatisfactory mark
- The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
