NHA2416 - Aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics

Critically apply CFD modelling to evaluate aerodynamic effects on vehicle body and its components and communicate these findings to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

Initiate and carry out analysis of the aerodynamic forces acting on a given vehicle and its components and critically correlate results of these analyses with vehicle performance.

Gain coherent and detailed knowledge of the aerodynamic analytical, computational and experimental techniques to determine the drag and lift coefficients.

Respond accurately and concisely with suitably selected techniques and calculations to a range of theoretical questions on various aspects of incompressible and compressible flows.

Have systematic understanding of the aerodynamic fundamentals affecting the forces acting on a vehicle in motion and the contribution of vehicle form towards the drag coefficient.
