MECH&AE 150B
Aerodynamics
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Advanced aspects of potential flow theory. Incompressible flow around thin airfoils (lift and moment coefficients) and wings (lift, induced drag). Gas dynamics: oblique shocks, Prandtl/Meyer expansion. Linearized subsonic and supersonic flow around thin airfoils and wings. Wave drag. Transonic flow.
Letter grading.
