I welcome feedback on all aspects of the course at any time, either in person or with a
note. I appreciate helpful suggestions.

Objectives: This course introduces the basic concepts in incompressible aerodynam-


ics..

Prerequisites: None. But, a first course in fluid mechanics or aerodynamics is re-


quired.

tions, Atmosphere (ISA) and its stability, dynamic similarity. Aerofoil nomenclature,
forces and moments, Incompressible irrotational flow. Complex potential, Singularities
and superposition, axisymmetric potential flow, Blasius theorem, Method of images.
Circulation, Robins Magnus effect and Kutta-Joukowski theorem, Conformal Mapping
and Joukowski airfoil, Kelvin’s circulation theorem, Thin Airfoil theory, Helmholtz
theorems, Finite wing theory, Low aspect ratio wings and slender body theory, Flow
separation & dynamic stall, Flow control & wing design, Wing flutter.
