Course Outcomes (COs):

CO1: Identify and formulate the correct set of assumptions and boundary conditions for aerody- namic force calculations for incompressible flow.

CO2: Apply analytical methods based on potential flow theory to estimate the aerodynamic force on finite wings in incompressible flow.

CO3: Develop numerical algorithms based on panel methods for aerodynamic analysis of simple configurations.

CO4: Use boundary layer theory to estimate viscous drag on simple configurations and apply corrections to potential flow based methods.
