Ae2026 Industrial Aerodynamics

This document outlines the course objectives and units for an industrial aerodynamics course. The 5 units cover atmospheric boundary layer effects, bluff body aerodynamics applied to vehicles and trains, wind energy collectors, building aerodynamics, and flow induced vibrations. The course aims to familiarize learners with non-aeronautical applications of aerodynamics, such as the aerodynamic design of road vehicles, flow around buildings, and problems caused by vibrations induced by wind.
