Module overview
The aim of this module is to extend the fundamental ideas of fluid flow from low Mn (mainly incompressible) to high subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. In terms of application, the primary focus will be on aerofoil design, for which the effects of angle of attack, Mach number, aerofoil thickness and camber will be studied in different flow regimes.
A secondary objective is to provide hands-on experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Summative coursework elements using a commercial standard solver, to cement the main ideas of the module through numerical experiments is undertaken.
