Introduction to the conceptual landscape -- From elementary particles to aerodynamic flows -- Continuum fluid mechanics and the Navier-Stokes equations -- Boundary layers -- General features of flows around bodies -- Drag and propulsion -- Lift and airfoils in 2D at subsonic spe…
A real understanding of aerodynamics must go beyond mastering the mathematical formalism of the theories and come to grips with the physical cause-and-effect relationships that the theories represent. In addition, design work depends heavily on voluminous numerical computations.…
