Without the aerodynamic forces of lift and drag, aircraft would be unable to fly, wind turbines would not spin, and countless other machines that we depend on every day would not work. What, exactly, ...

The following question, "How does an airfoil create lift?" comes from Ms. Gillespie's class. I love watching airplanes take off at the airport. I think it’s an amazing feat of human engineering that ...

Aerodynamic shape optimization and design sits at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computational modelling and advanced optimisation algorithms. This field seeks to refine the contours of ...
