AAE 33400 - Aerodynamics
Credit Hours: 3.00. Incompressible airfoil and lifting line theory. Steady and unsteady, one-dimensional, linear and nonlinear flows. Normal and oblique shock waves. Isentropic expansions. Steady, supersonic, two-dimensional linear and nonlinear flow applied to airfoils. Linear subsonic compressible flow for airfoils. Design applications.
Learning Outcomes
1. Calculate thin airfoil performance parameters for incompressible flow.
2. Utilize lifting line theory to analyze wings and determine parameters such as lift coefficient, induced drag coefficient, and/or wing loading.
3. Perform static longitudinal stability analyses to determine if a wing-horizontal tail configuration is stable and/or trimmable and explain the impact of design variables on the longitudinal stability of an airplane.
4. Predict the variation of properties in a converging-diverging nozzle under subsonic and supersonic conditions.
5. Determine supersonic airfoil performance by shock-expansion theory.
6. Determine supersonic airfoil performance by linearized supersonic theory.
7. Apply subsonic compressibility corrections for airfoils to incompressible results.
8. Describe the impact of airfoil geometry and wing geometry on the determination of the critical Mach number.
