What it covers
This unit develops further your physical understanding and analytical skills by including the viscous nature of internal and external aerodynamic flows in the formulation and analysis of general aerodynamic problems. Topics include control volume analysis of viscous incompressible flow, channel and pipe flow, boundary layer flow and free shear flows like jets and wakes, including momentum integral analysis, similarity analysis and similarity solutions of these equations as they pertain to wall-bounded and free shear flows and an introduction to turbulence. Convective heat transfer in these laminar and turbulent flows is also considered.
