AERODYNAMICS
ABOUT IT
- It is branch of fluid dynamics deal with the study of motion of air.
- Aerodynamics is a sub-field of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics.
- Gas dynamics is used to study the motion of all gases,not limited to air.
- Recent work in aerodynamics has focused on issues related to compressible flow, turbulence, and boundary layer.
FLOW CLASSIFICATION
- Flow velocity is used to classify flow according to speed.
- Compressibility refers to whether or not the flow in a problem can have a varying density.
- Subsonic flows are flow fields in which air velocity in the entire flow is below the local speed of sound.
- Subsonic flow are assumed to be incompressible, i.e the density is assumed to be constant.
SUPERSONIC FLOWS
It is defined as the flows in which the flow speed is greater than the speed of sound everywhere.
HYPERSONIC FLOW
It refers to flow where the flow speed is much greater than the speed of sound.
Viscosity is associated with the friction forces in a flow.In some flow fields, viscous effects are very small, Flows for which viscosity is not neglected is called the viscous flows.
EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS
It is a study of flow around solid objects of various shapes.
INTERNAL AERODYNAMICS
It is the study of flow of through passages in solid objects.
CONSERVATION LAWS
INTERNAL AERODYNAMICS
It is the study of flow of through passages in solid objects.
CONSERVATION LAWS
- Conservation of mass
In fluid dynamics the mathematical formula of this principle is known as mass continuity equation.
2, Conservation of momentum
In dynamics the mathematical formula of this is Newtons second laws.In its mst complete form the momentum equation is known as Navies stokes equation.This equation has no unique solution and are solved in modern dynamics using computational techanique.
3. Conservation of energy
Any addition or substruction of energy is due to neither to the fluid flow in and not out of the reason of interest.
BRANCHES OF AERODYNAMICS
1. INCOMPRESSIBLE AERODYNAMICS
It is the flow in which the density is constant in both time and space.Although all real fluids are compressible.Effects of compressibility of more sufficient at speed close.
2. COMPRESSIBLE AERODYNAMICS
According to theory of dynamics, a flow is considered to be compressible if its changes density with respect to pressure is non zero along a stream line.This means that unlike incompressible flow changes in density must be considered .
