A brief
introduction is provided in this section about Aerodynamics in general.
However, the focus is mainly on low speed flow. Concepts have been introduced
without too much rigor. This would hopefully help the reader to get a first
glimpse of the subject without getting into too many details. Figures have been
used to explain concepts wherever possible. Lengthy derivations have been
avoided because reference books could be used for that purpose. Main equations
to remember have been provided straight away with relevant explanation.
The main
concentration in this chapter is on introducing some basic concepts, discussion
on low speed flow past airfoils and finite wings, forces and moments that are
developed on these bodies due to air flow and a brief exposure to some of the
methods of analyzing these flows.
