Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of Calculus, Mechanics and Fluidynamics

Learning outcomes
The course aims are to provide the students with the fundamental notions on aerodynamics for aircrafts and ground vehicles and to introduce the fluid dynamics of compressible flows in supersonic and hypersonic conditions.

Program
Aerodynamic loads. The drag: shape and viscous components. Evaluation of the drag coefficient by using the momentum conservation equation. Potential flow theory and thin sheet theory. Aerodynamic shapes. Boundary layer separation on curved surfaces. Flaps and turbulators. Finite wing theory. Longitudinal stability of the airplane. Fundamentals of compressible fluid flow.
