課程描述
本課程把流體力學的概念從純粹的工程學擴展到在亞、超音速下翼身的氣動特性。16.100總體上包括四個部分：亞音速勢流，包括源、渦小板法；粘性流，包括層流和紊流邊界層；翼型和機翼的空氣動力學，包括薄翼理論、升力線理論、小板法和與交互作用的邊界層方法；超音速和高超音速翼型理論。每年課程內容會根據課程設計的重點不同而有所變化。This course extends fluid mechanic concepts from Unified Engineering to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in sub/supersonic regimes. 16.100 generally has four components: subsonic potential flows, including source/vortex panel methods; viscous flows, including laminar and turbulent boundary layers; aerodynamics of airfoils and wings, including thin airfoil theory, lifting line theory, and panel method/interacting boundary layer methods; and supersonic and hypersonic airfoil theory. Course material varies each year depending upon the focus of the design problem.
技術需求
本課程會用到檔解壓軟體，例如Winzip®或StuffIt®，以打開課程站點中的.tar文件。還會用到 MATLAB® software運行課程站點上的.m檔並輸入.data文件。
File decompression software, such as Winzip® or StuffIt®, is required to open the .tar files found on this course site. MATLAB® software is required to run the .m files and import the .data files found on this course site.
