Lehrstuhl für Strömungsmechanik - Chair of Fluid Mechanics

Body flow and aerodynamics

Master’s in MB (summer semester only, 4 SWS)

Registration for the lecture is required (by email to burgmann(at)uni-wuppertal.de)

Aims of the lecture

  • What flow phenomena occur when fluid flows around bodies?
  • How can the forces acting on a body in a flow field be described?
  • What implications does this have for aerodynamics?

Contents

  • Lift & drag
  • Frictionless flows and applications of potential theory
  • Boundary layer flows and friction
  • Flow separation
  • Airfoils, slats, flaps

Lecturers

Other

  • A 30-minute oral examination; the date will be agreed with the students and announced in good time.
  • Lecture materials will be made available via Moodle. The access code will be provided during the first lecture.
