Summary
This course addresses the problems related to the aerodynamics of objects moving in a fluid. It aims to present fluid mechanics tools used in industry and aerodynamic research. The profession concerned is aerodynamic engineer who can work in the field of aeronautics, automotive, etc. One example is ONERA engineer (Office national de recherche en aï¿œrospatial, the French aerospace lab). The concepts that will be covered in the course will be as follows: -basic principles of fluid mechanics (Navier-Stokes equations, statics, Bernoulli, Euler theorem, etc.) This will be done very quickly. It is strongly recommended to do the Fluid Transport module beforehand where these notions are discussed in more detail. -Principles of similarity: essential concept for the exploitation of experimental results (i.e. in wind tunnels). -Reynolds number effects, turbulence, boundary layer and introduction to turbulence modeling. -Reversible and non-reversible adiabatic compressible fluid (shock wave), -Experimental methods for understanding turbulence, -Numerical simulations and modelling under StarCCM+ This course will be done in english for one of the two groups (voluntary one).
Educational goals
At the end of the course, the student will be able to: - To address a fluid mechanics problem of a body moving in a fluid (competency C2.1: Represent and model, grade A competent level, D intermediate). - Analyze, understand and model the flow around objects. In particular, he will be able to improve its performance (e. g. reduction of drag) through a joint experimental and numerical approach to better control flow turbulence (skill C2.2: Solve and Arbitrate, grade A competent level, D intermediate). - To have a critical mind on traditional approaches to turbulence problems, in particular through the introduction to turbulence modeling that will be addressed in this course (competency C1.1 Emerging, grade A intermediate level, D beginner).
Sustainable development goals
Knowledge control procedures
Continuous Assessment / Fixed Exam
Comments: - Written test (2/3 of the evaluation)
- Practices, tests moodle and exercises in rated TEA (1/3 of the evaluation with 2/3 practices and 1/3 exercises and tests)
The reports of the 3 practices TDTP will constitute 66% of the continuous control score (the remaining 33% being the exercise and tests scores). The final exam will constitute 66% of the module's evaluation and will make it possible to check the mastery of the skills developed within the framework of this module.

Pedagogy
Class sessions with active student participation will be organized. Each session will be followed by one or more exercises to be done independently (2 hours to be devoted to it). At the next tutorial session (TD), these exercises will be corrected and each student will have to self-assess (50% of the mark for the time spent trying and 50% related to understanding the exercises after correction). The TD session will be complemented by other exercises to allow students to assimilate the concepts covered in this teaching as they go along. Two intermediate evaluations per online tests will be implemented to ensure that the concepts are assimilated before the final exam. In addition to the exercises, two tutorial/experimental practical work sessions (TDTP) will be carried out to illustrate the different concepts seen in class. The theoretical parts of the TDTPs will be prepared in groups of 4 before in autonomous session. A session with a teacher will then validate this phase before the implementation phase. After the practice session, a report per group will be requested. A third Starccm+ numerical simulation TDTP will also be implemented on flow around a wing to illustrate the joint numerical experiments approaches to solve turbulence problems. The reports of the 3 TDTPs will constitute 66% of the continuous control score (the remaining 33% being the exercise and tests scores). The final exam will constitute 66% of the module's evaluation and will make it possible to check the mastery of the skills developed within the framework of this module. This course will be done in english for one of the two groups (voluntary one).
