AE3411: Aerodynamics Laboratory syllabus for AERO 2021 regulation

Aerodynamics Laboratory detailed syllabus for Aeronautical Engineering (AERO) for 2021 regulation curriculum has been taken from the Anna University official website and presented for the AERO students. For course code, course name, number of credits for a course and other scheme related information, do visit full semester subjects post given below.

For Aeronautical Engineering 4th Sem scheme and its subjects, do visit AERO 4th Sem 2021 regulation scheme. The detailed syllabus of aerodynamics laboratory is as follows.

Course Objectives:

• To understand pressure distribution and characteristic over an airfoil and bluff bodies due to airflow .
• To measure the forces and moments acting on the airfoil at different angle of attack using wind tunnel balance set up.
• To visualize the flow pattern over an object by different method.

List of Experiments:

1. Calibration of a subsonic Wind tunnel.
2. Determination of lift for the given airfoil section.
3. Pressure distribution over a smooth circular cylinder.
4. Pressure distribution over a rough circular cylinder.
5. Pressure distribution over a symmetric aerofoil.
6. Pressure distribution over a cambered aerofoil.
7. Force measurement using wind tunnel balancing set up.
8. Flow over a flat plate at different angles of incidence.
9. Flow visualization studies in low speed flows over cylinders.
10. Flow visualization studies in low speed flows over airfoil with different angle of incidence.
11. Flow visualization on bluff bodies using water flow channel
12. Flow visualization using Hele-shaw apparatus.

Course Outcomes:

• Calculate the aerodynamic forces and moments experienced by airfoils, wings and bluff bodies.
• Evaluate the performance of thin airfoils with the effects of angle of attack and camber by considering thin aerofoil theory
• Measure flow velocity , lift and drag by use of wind tunnel instrument and to Visualize the flow by water flow and smoke methods.
