Fluid Dynamics And Aeronautics With Michael Burdett

A course for fluid dynamics and aviation, starting from the basics for both, the natural laws which govern them.

What you'll learn

Introduction to fluid dynamics and its history.

The core concepts of fluid dynamics, and its governing physical laws.

Introduction to aeronautics, its modern history and the associated natural laws for it.

Different types of propulsion for both existing and future methods.

The considerations involved for different types of aircraft.

Requirements

A basic knowledge of math and functions (GCSE or equivalent).

Description

This course is for anyone who wants to learn fluid dynamics and/or aeronautics, with or without an existing background in this subject. Starting with the core fundamentals which govern both fluid dynamics and aeronautics, this course will teach you how they work, who discovered the natural laws behind them along with how these laws work.As you progress through this course, you will see how these areas of physics/engineering allows us to make aircraft fly, boats sail, and generate power or move water using fluid dynamics.This course will cover ideal gas law, Bernoulli’s principle, Archimedes principle, forces for fluid, adiabatic and isentropic fluid flows, fluid vorticity, airfoil design, propeller design, as well as the functions and characteristics of both cyclorotors and lighter than air aircraft.Starting from a basic grasp of what this subject is, you will learn the knowledge and tools which will help you understand these fields, and gain a confidence to progress further into education with these subjects after this course. Spread across seven videos, this course is in English audio, available with subtitles in English, French, German, Hebrew, Icelandic, Romanian and Spanish.The information within these courses is intended for information and educational purposes only. Multiple subjects covered in these courses require certifications to practice, whose governing bodies can vary from country to country. Completing these courses will not allow you to practice in a professional capacity, and these courses are intended for people who wish to learn these fields of study, and people who wish to refresh their knowledge on the subjects within these courses.The subtitles in these courses were produced automatically. As they are automatically generated, please be aware that there may be grammatical errors and/or potential misunderstandings.
