The primary aim of the course is focusing the students on complex subjects in applied aerodynamics, with an overview of necessary background knowledge in theoretical and computational aerodynamics. The contents on which the course is focused changes every academic year, depending on problems that students intend to investigate within their PhD dissertations, with the aim to improve the future scientific research in the area selected for the thesis.

After accomplishing this course, student must be able to understand, explain and apply different aspects of complex problems in theoretical, computational and primarily applied aerodynamics, in the sense of solving operational engineering problems. Important outcome is also the acquiring of specific knowledge in the areas planned for investigation within the student’s thesis preparation process.

The contents of the course change every year depending on the students requirements, so only some of the most often considered and analyzed topics will be stated: characteristics and calculation of airflow around slender bodies; non-standard air vehicle design schemes and concepts; aerodynamic interference (wing-fuselage-tail surfaces, etc.); aerodynamics of road and railroad vehicles; ground influence on aerodynamic characteristics of air vehicles and ground vehicles; atmospheric boundary layer and aerodynamics of buildings; aerodynamic characteristics in unsteady air flow conditions; aerodynamic characteristics in stall condition, etc.
