By the end of this course, the student is expected to have acquired knowledge on:
- Fundamental physics governing the unsteady flows;
- Derivation of the unsteady governing conservation equations and simplifications;
- Analytical and numerical analysis of incompressible steady flows;
- Unsteady incompressible flow field and force generation of thin airfoils undergoing a simple harmonic and arbitrary motions;
- Steady and unsteady incompressible flow about thin wings;
- Moderns subjects such as vortex lift and flapping-wing aerodynamics.
