SUMMARY

This discussion centers on two key topics in aerospace engineering: the formation of boundary layers on flat surfaces and the pressure distribution on airfoils at varying angles of attack. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding fluid dynamics, particularly how boundary layers separate two mediums. They recommend utilizing resources like Wikipedia for foundational knowledge and external references to deepen understanding of these concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fluid dynamics principles
  • Boundary layer theory
  • Airfoil design and aerodynamics
  • Basic physics of lift and drag
NEXT STEPS
  • Research boundary layer formation on flat surfaces
  • Study pressure distribution on airfoils at different angles of attack
  • Explore the effects of V-formation in bird flight on aerodynamics
  • Examine external resources and references on fluid dynamics
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineering students, educators, and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics related to boundary layers and airfoil performance.

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 boundary layer on a flat surface : giving dtails of how the boundary 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...
