In this course, you'll start with a theoretical look at the Navier-Stokes equations, simplifying them to uncover easier ways to analyze airflow. From there, you'll learn how to implement the Vortex Panel Method using Matlab, exploring the characteristics of airfoils and how design elements impact performance. The course also transitions into three-dimensional wing analysis, using methods like Weissinger and incorporating viscous effects for a fuller understanding of flow behavior.
