However, determining the aerodynamics of a vehicle finding the lift and drag is one of the most difficult things you will ever do in engineering, requiring complex theories, experiments in wind tunnels, and simulations using modern highspeed computers. Doing any of these things is a challenge, but a challenge well worth the effort for those wanting to better understand aircraft flight" The book introduces the fundamentals of fluid-mechanics, momentum theories, vortex theories and vortex methods necessary for the study of rotors aerodynamics and wind-turbines aerodynamics in particular.
Rotor theories are presented in a great level of details at the beginning of the book. These theories include: the blade element theory, the Kutta-Joukowski theory, the momentum theory and the blade element momentum method. A part of the book is dedicated to the description and implementation of vortex methods. The remaining of the book focuses on the study of wind turbine aerodynamics using vortex-theory analyses or vortex-methods.
Examples of vortex-theory applications are: optimal rotor design, tip-loss corrections, yaw-models and dynamic inflow models. Historical derivations and recent extensions of the models are presented.
The cylindrical vortex model is another example of a simple analytical vortex model presented in this book. This model leads to the development of different BEM models and it is also used to provide the analytical velocity field upstream of a turbine or a wind farm under aligned or yawed conditions.
Different applications of numerical vortex methods are presented. Numerical methods are used for instance to investigate the influence of a wind turbine on the incoming turbulence. Sheared inflows and aero-elastic simulations are investigated using vortex methods for the first time.
Many analytical flows are derived in details: vortex rings, vortex cylinders, Hill's vortex, vortex blobs etc. They are used throughout the book to devise simple rotor models or to validate the implementation of numerical methods.
Several Matlab programs are provided to ease some of the most complex implementations. Authoritative, highly readable history of aerodynamics and the major theorists and their contributions.
Experimental Aerodynamics provides an up to date study of this key area of aeronautical engineering. The field has undergone significant evolution with the development of 3D techniques, data processing methods, and the conjugation of simultaneous measurements of multiple quantities. Written for undergraduate and graduate students in Aerospace Engineering, the text features chapters by leading experts, with a consistent structure, level, and pedagogical approach.
Fundamentals of measurements and recent research developments are introduced, supported by numerous examples, illustrations, and problems. The text will also be of interest to those studying mechanical systems, such as wind turbines. A treatment of low-speed aerodynamics, covering both theory and computational techniques, first published in Relying onclear physical arguments and examples, Mclean provides amuch-needed, fresh approach to this sometimes contentious subjectwithout shying away from addressing "real" aerodynamic situationsas opposed to the oversimplified ones frequently used formathematical convenience.
Motivated by the belief that engineeringpractice is enhanced in the long run by a robust understanding ofthe basics as well as real cause-and-effect relationships that liebehind the theory, he provides intuitive physical interpretationsand explanations, debunking commonly-held misconceptions andmisinterpretations, and building upon the contrasts provided bywrong explanations to strengthen understanding of the rightones.
Addresses "real" aerodynamic situations as opposed to theoversimplified ones frequently used for mathematical convenience,and omits mathematical details whenever the physical understandingcan be conveyed without them. The Second Edition of this book includes a revision and an extension of its former version. It also incoporates an appendix with somehow advanced mathematics and computer based exercises. The first part is divided in two chapters in which the student must achieve to understand the basic elements of atmospheric flight ISA and planetary references and the technology that apply to the aerospace sector, in particular with a specific comprehension of the elements of an aircraft.
The second part focuses on the aircraft and it is divided in five chapters that introduce the student to aircraft aerodynamics fluid mechanics, airfoils, wings, high-lift devices , aircraft materials and structures, aircraft propulsion, aircraft instruments and systems, and atmospheric flight mechanics performances and stability and control.
The third part is devoted to understand the global air transport system covering both regulatory and economical frameworks , the airports, and the global air navigation system its history, current status, and future development. The course is complemented by a practical approach. Students should be able to apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical cases using academic but also industrial software, such as Python and XFLR5.
The course also includes a series of assignments to be completed individually or in groups. These tasks comprise an oral presentation, technical reports, scientific papers, problems, etc. The course is supplemented by scientific and industrial seminars, recommended readings, and a visit to an institution or industry related to the study and of interest to the students.
