OBJECTIVES:

• To introduce  the  concepts  of  mass,  momentum  and  energy  conservation  relating  to aerodynamics.
• To make the student understand the concept of vorticity, irrotationality, theory of airfoils and wing sections.
• To introduce the basics of viscous flow.

 

UNIT I             INTRODUCTION TO LOW SPEED FLOW                                                                     9

Euler  equation,  incompressible  bernoulli’s  equation.  circulation  and  vorticity,  green’s  lemma  and stoke’s theorem, barotropic flow, kelvin’s theorem, streamline, stream function, irrotational flow, potential function, equipontential lines, elementary flows and their combinations.

 

UNIT II            TWO DIMENSIONAL INVISCID INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW                                        9

Ideal Flow over a circular cylinder, D’Alembert’s paradox, magnus effect, Kutta joukowski’s theorem, starting vortex, kutta condition,  real flow over smooth and rough cylinder.

 

UNIT III           AIRFOIL THEORY                                                                                                          9

Cauchy-riemann relations, complex potential, methodology of conformal transformation, kutta- joukowski transformation and its applications, thin airfoil theory and its applications.

 

UNIT IV          SUBSONIC WING THEORY                                                                                           9

Vortex filament, biot and savart law, bound vortex and trailing vortex, horse shoe vortex, lifting line theory and its limitations.

 

UNIT V           INTRODUCTION TO BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY                                                    9

Boundary layer and boundary layer thickness, displacement thickness, momentum thickness, energy thickness, shape parameter, boundary layer equations for a steady, two dimensional incompressible flow, boundary layer growth over a flat plate, critical reynolds number, blasius solution, basics of turbulent flow.

 

 

OUTCOMES
