Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
The purpose of this course is to understand the aerodynamic characteristics, which affect the performance of transportation equipment, and the methods for prediction and evaluation of these characteristics.
For this purpose, the aerodynamic characteristics of transportation equipment, mainly automobiles, are explained along with the physical phenomena related to the characteristics, according to the basic theories of fluid mechanics and transportation equipment dynamics.
Technologies for numerical analysis and experimental measurement for predicting and evaluating the aerodynamic characteristics of transportation equipment, as well as the latest related research, will also be explained and introduced. |
