Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is a part of the mechanics focused on the study of the actions of the air on the objects that move inside. Obviously, aerodynamics is a fundamental discipline in the activity of the aeronautical engineer. External aerodynamics refers to the study of the air around the airplane and its elements, while the internal aerodynamics refers to the processes it undergoes in ducts or confined spaces, such as the interior of the engines.
In this course, the basic aerodynamic processes are explored with the intention of understanding the design principles of aerodynamic airfoils and wings. The course includes techniques to understand the difference between non-viscid and viscid flows, as well as between subsonic and supersonic ones.
