Learning outcomes
Knowledge
The course is aimed at introducing the equations and the basic physical mechanisms governing the motion of fluids and at explaining the mechanisms leading to the generation of fluid dynamic loads acting on moving bodies. At the end of the course the students should be able to use different methodologies for the prediction of the fluid dynamic loads acting on aerodynamic bodies (wings and airfoils) in subsonic flow.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
-In the written exam (4 hours, 5 questions + 1 exercise), the student must demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material, to organise an effective and correctly written reply and to be able to apply the acquired knowledge to the solution of a simple problem. - During the oral exam, the student must show to be able to critically analyze and, possibly, to correct some aspects of his/her written exam and to further demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material.

Methods:

  • Final oral exam
