Certificate Rotor and Wake Aerodynamics

he course focuses on the following topics:

• Momentum theory applied to rotor simulation and design and potential flow models for rotors
• Airfoil aerodynamics
• Unsteady aerodynamics
• Aeroacoustics
• Wake aerodynamic

After successfully completing the course, you will be able to:

• design or source models which can represent the aerodynamics of different rotor configurations
• appraise different models and critique their suitability
• analyze complex rotor flows (rotors in yaw, wind farms, etc.)
• identify and summarize the main fluid phenomena and evaluate their interaction
• integrate different models to analyze the flow and combine the different models, evaluating their limitations and overlap
• design a rotor from an aerodynamic perspective
