Learning outcomes
Predict pertinent characteristics such as drag, lift, mass flow rate and pressure drop of internal and external incompressible aerodynamic flows.
Derive the governing equations for incompressible viscous wall-bounded flows such as channel, pipe and boundary layer flows, and apply these equations to calculate the drag due to skin friction in incompressible laminar and turbulent wall-bounded flows.
Derive the governing equations for incompressible viscous free-shear flows such as jets and wakes and apply these equations to calculate the propulsion and bluff-body drag, respectively in these incompressible laminar and turbulent free-shear flows.
Formulate engineering solutions for the external and internal aerodynamics of flight vehicles by synthesis of incompressible, viscous flow theories.
Analyse convective heat transfer of internal and external viscous aerodynamic flows operating in the laminar and turbulent regime.
Justify the analytical framework and data sources employed in the development of engineering solutions, aerodynamic designs and aerodynamic laboratory experiments when reporting their work.

Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 40%
Final assessment: 60%
This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
