Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics - AERO70024 / 97084
Aims
This module introduces the key numerical methods used for solving the governing equations of fluid dynamics for aerodynamic design. Basic numerical and aerodynamic concepts are explored using existing open-source and commercial computer programs to simulate and analyse aerodynamic flows. Through the use of project-based learning, via a combination of lectures and practical assignments, the course will build on prior knowledge of aerodynamics in order to design, set-up, perform, validate and assess the accuracy of simulations via computational codes.
Role
Lecturer
Systems Engineering for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - MSc AERO70036
Aims
This module gives the student an introduction to engineering systems and applies the systems engineering tools to the design of UAVs. In the process, it aims to teach the students how to design and control UAVs, which aerodynamic principles are applicable for UAV flight and to show them their multiple applications. It will also examine the challenges in the wider adoption of UAVs, including operation in controlled airspace and interoperability with piloted aircraft.
