AAE 3801L: Aerodynamics and UAS Lab

1 Credit Hours

Prerequisite: ENGR 3801
In this laboratory course, students will learn hands on problem solving related to aerodynamics and fluid flow. Students will learn experiments related to Bernoulli’s principle, airflow over airfoils, air flow around blunt and streamlined bodies, pressure distribution around cylinder and airfoils, lift and drag forces for blunt and streamlined shapes, and flow visualization.

Course Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to:

Apply Bernoulli’s equation to solve fluid dynamics problems.
Analyze air flow characteristics over airfoils.
Evaluate air flows around both blunt and streamlined shapes.
Investigate pressure distributions around cylinders and airfoils.
Calculate lift and drag forces for various shapes, both blunt and streamlined.
Implement flow visualization techniques to understand fluid behavior.
Utilize manometers for measuring fluid pressure.
Demonstrate UAS operations and conduct simulations effectively.
