Summary

 

Mathematics 1 - AERO40006

Aims

This module introduces mathematics as a logical and structured discipline, to ensure that all students acquire the mathematical knowledge and skills required for the first year aeronautical course, and to provide a basis for the more advanced mathematical techniques which are required in later years of the course.

Role

Lecturer

Aerodynamics 3 - AERO60001

Aims

This module covers both compressible and incompressible aerodynamics relevant to aerospace vehicle design. The module builds on the Aerodynamics 1 and 2 modules. Topics covered include the derivation of the Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes equation, treatment of boundary layers, finite aspect ratio wing effects, effects of friction and heat transfer on compressible flow and the two-dimensional method of characteristics for compressible flows.
