In this case, the nonlinear lifting surface model must allow the separation of the trailing vortices from the surface or, at least, from the side and trailing edges (Fig. 6.1b). The induced velocities due to these vortices affect the pressure distribution on the wing, so as to induce ...
Aerodynamics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the determination of the fluid mechanical forces and moments on bodies of interest. The subject is called incompressible aerodynamics if the flow speeds are low enough (Mach number < 0.3) for compressibility effects to be negligible. At...
While the research will focus on the wing and airfoil aerodynamics for the NCSU Formula SAE car, the results and discussion will be applicable to a variety of race vehicles with wings. Due to the reduced vehicle speeds encountered in a formula SAE competition (as compared to other professional...
This course extends fluid mechanic concepts from Unified Engineering to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in sub/supersonic regimes. 16.100 generally has four components: subsonic potential flows, including source/vortex panel methods; viscous flows, including laminar and turbulent boundary ...

He notes for the first time that the center of gravity of a flying bird does not coincide with its center of pressure, and he describes the construction of an ornithopter, with flapping wings similar to a bird.Sir Isaac Newton was the first person to develop a theory of air resistance, ...
In an imaginary world with wings of infinite span and uniform three-dimensional shape, each unit span of the wing would have the same circulation, and, while accelerating the air, no energy would be lost due to vortex shedding in the wake. How efficient! In the real world, however, wings...
usually generate a lot of lift, but they also produce a lot of drag. In designing airplane wings, engineers need to take into account such factors as the speed and altitude at which the plane will fly, so that they can find a wing shape that balances lift and drag as well as possible...
