MAE 150B.

Aerodynamics. (Prof.

Zhong, X.) Lecture, four hours; discussion, two hours; outside study, six hours.

Requisites: courses 103, 150A.

Advanced aspects of potential flow theory.

Incompressible flow around thin airfoils (lift and moment coefficients) and wings (lift, induced drag).

Gas dynamics: oblique shocks, Prandtl/Meyer expansion.

Linearized subsonic and supersonic flow around thin airfoils and wings.

Wave drag.

Transonic flow.
