Aero Python: classical aerodynamics of potential flow using Python

Abstract

The AeroPython set of lessons present a computational approach to an engineering course in classical aerodynamics. The audience of such a course would be advanced undergraduate students in mechanical or aerospace engineering (or master’s students), with a fluid mechanics pre-requisite. Classical aerodynamics is a broad theoretical subject— this learning module focuses on one topic: the use of potential flow for aerodynamic analysis, via the panel method.
