Industrial Aerodynamics
Prof. Sunil Manohar Dash · IIT Kharagpur
About
Industrial Aerodynamics is essential for designing and optimising systems that involve the interaction between airflow and structures. This course offers a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles of aerodynamics as they apply to industrial applications. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical insights, you will examine the role of aerodynamics in various fields such as energy, transportation, and construction. The course syllabus includes topics like atmospheric circulations, atmospheric boundary layers, air pollutant dispersions, wind energy harvesting, bluff body aerodynamics, and wind tunnel testing. It is designed for students and professionals in aerospace, mechanical, civil, or environmental engineering, as well as anyone interested in applying aerodynamics to address industrial challenges.
Intended audience: UG and PG Level, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Ocean and Naval Architecture Engineering.
Prerequisites: Aerodynamics, Fluid Mechanics
