Catalog Description: Development of computational methods for application to wing aerodynamic problems. Incompressible airfoil codes. Panel methods and vortex lattice methods. Finite difference techniques. Transonic and supersonic applications.

Links for My (P Raj) Lectures: As a co-instructor, I offer a series of 12 lectures, once a week for 12 weeks. The lecture series  is titled  "Reflections on Applied Computational Aerodynamics (ACA) for Aircraft Design." The lectures can be accessed using the following links:

Lecture 1 - Introduction

Lecture  2 - Genesis of Fluid Dynamics

Lecture  3 - Fluid Dynamics as a Mathematical Science

Lecture 4 - Emergence of CFD

Lecture  5 - Evolution of ACA  (1 of 5)

Lecture  6 - Evolution  of ACA (2 of 5)
