AE
3021 High Speed Aerodynamics
Fall
2006
Catalog
Description: AE
3021 High Speed Aerodynamics. 3-0-3. Compressibility
effects on airfoil and wing aerodynamics; supersonic potential flow;
method of
characteristics; boundary layer effects on airfoil and wing performance.
Text:
Either
“Aerodynamics for Engineers” by J. Bertin or “Fundamentals of
Aerodynamics” by
J. Anderson. Use the text that you used for AE2020.
Learning
Objectives: Learn
to account for compressibility effects, assuming that
the incompressible aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils, wings or
bodies of
revolution are known. Learn to model 2-D supersonic aerodynamics.
Estimate
viscous drag in attached laminar and turbulent flow.

Professor: Dr.
Narayanan M.
Komerath, Professor. narayanan.komerath@ae.gatech.edu Office: 353
Guggenheim.
Office Hours: 9-10 Wednesday & Friday.
Grading:
Homework
will not be graded, but on-time completion and submission will be
counted: 1%
each for on-time submission, -2%
for missed deadlines, for a maximum of 10% and a minimum of -20%.
Two
50-minute Midterm Tests (30%): September 20 and November 8.
Comprehensive Test 20% November 20
Four
Quizzes (15-minute): 20%: September 1, September 13, October 6,
November 1.
Final
Exam: 20% If you have an “A” average at end of the Comprehensive Test
(72+ out
of 80) you can opt out of the Final Exam.
Policies:
1.
Regular and punctual attendance and participation are expected. Absence
from
quizzes and tests must be explained with medical certificates or other
valid
reasons beyond your control and planning. Being late for 8AM class
occasionally
due to traffic is understandable – when MARTA or the interstates cause
delays. The
professor also commutes a long way. PLEASE DON’T hurry
on the
highways. (Get up early instead).
2. Ask anyone for help on homework, but
what you submit must be your own work.
