Aerospace Engineeering Assignment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking assistance with two aerospace engineering assignment questions: the formation of boundary layers on a flat surface and pressure distribution on an airfoil at different angles of attack. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding fluid dynamics and suggest utilizing online resources like Wikipedia for foundational knowledge. A diagram illustrating the V formation of birds is mentioned, highlighting its relevance to aerodynamic efficiency. The conversation encourages exploring various educational materials to grasp these complex concepts better. Overall, the thread underscores the value of research and resourcefulness in tackling aerospace engineering challenges.

Hi people, i am really in a deep trouble and i will be so happy if anyone can help. Any tips will be so appreciated and make a real different to what i am going through at the moment. i have got two question to answer.

1. Experiment of boundry layer on a flat surface : giving dtails of how the boundry layer are formed

2.Eperiment of pressure distribution on an airfoil at differents angle of attack
 
Physics news on Phys.org
One cool airfoil diagram is the one that explains why birds fly in a V:

It means the lead bird and the 2 flanking birds do extra work, but the everage of each bird's total work is reduced by a huge percentage. And about boundary layers, are you talking about the fluid surface separating 2 mediums? There is a lot of info online about both these topics. Try Wikipedia.org first, and be sure to look at the references and external links at the end of each article. Then try google...
