Aerodynamics and Propulsion

Description

OBJECTIVES CONTENTS o Potential flows and the Kutta-Jukowski In this course standard results of incompressible theorem potential flow are revisited, along with key aspects o Theory of thin airfoils and application to of compressible flows, with the view of airfoil design applications to both aerodynamics and propulsion. o The lifting-line theory, and non-optimized wing The aims of the module are the following: o Introduction to airfoil and wing design o To review conservation laws; o Oblique shock waves o To review key results of potential flow o Expansion theory, including application to thin airfoils; o Transonic flows o To design an airfoil for a given set of o Linerarized flows constraints; o Ideal gas model o To review finite wing theory; o Propulsion principles o To study basic properties of two- o The Ideal and Non-ideal Turboshaft Cycle dimensional transonic and supersonic flow; o Thrust and Propulsive Efficiency. The o To study principles of gas turbine Turbojet Cycle combustion. o The Turbofan Cycle Pre-requisites: Bibliography : o Fundamentals of continuum mechanics Anderson J D, Fundamentals of aerodynamics, o Basic thermodynamics (BEng Mech Eng, 2001; ISAE: 629.132 3 AND BSc Physics) Houghton E L, Carpenter P W, Aerodynamics for o Gas Dynamics for Aerodynamics and engineering students, 1960, 1993, 2003: ISAE: Propulsion 629.132 3 HOU / o Fundamentals of viscous flows P.
