Avancerad Problemlösning: Topics in Fluid Dynamics

(S. F. Hassan, Feb-March 2011)

Lectures (time and place) : Weekly on Thursdays from 13:15 to 15:00 in the Cops seminar room, A5:1041 (starting Feb 3, 2011).

About the Course : This is part one of the 2-part course "Avancerad Problemlösning-I" under the Forskargrenen program. It is open to all first year students in the Physics department of Stockholm University.

Lecture notes : Notes on Fluid Dynamics and a basic understanding of Flight postscript file , pdf file (These notes cover the content of lectures, with some topics treated in more detail than in the class)

Some web resources with detailed discussions and nice animations : See How It Flies Airfoils and Airflow Irrotational Plane Flows of an Inviscid Fluid First Flight A simple model of flight : Flight without Bernoulli Popular descriptions of lift and misinterpretations of Bernoulli's principle Jef Raskin: Coanda Effect - Understanding Why Wings Work Misinterpretations of Bernoulli's Law Physics of Flight - revisited
