In this article, we are glad to provide the syllabus of the code AS3401 of Anna University awarding the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus based on regulation 2021. Let’s what we have here.
We tried our best to provide the detailed syllabus unit-wise for the subject code AS3401 – Aerodynamics Semester IV. We also include the required textbooks and references from the expert faculty regarding the syllabus. Along with it assists the students to become more aware of the topics. And can easily make preparation strategies as per the syllabus to make your move for examinations. Hope this information is useful. Comment below if you need anything relevant to the syllabus. We’ll try to answer your questions. Don’t forget to share with your classmates.
If you want to know more about the B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree program. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Aerospace Engineering Syllabus Regulation 2021 Anna University.
Aim Of Concept:
- To recall the governing equations of fluid mechanics.
- To understand the behaviour of airflow over bodies with particular emphasis on aerofoil sections in the incompressible and compressible flow regime.
- To introduce the Navier Stroke equations and its application
- To make the student understand the concept of vorticity, irrotationality, theory of airfoil and wing sections.
- To illustrate the conformal transformation and to extend the wing theory.
- To compare the interactions of shocks and expansion waves in fluid flow.
