OUTCOMES:

On successful completion of this course, the student will be able to
CO1: Experiment with the wind tunnel for wall effect, blockage and support interference on the measurements as well as determining the uncertainty in the measurement technique.
CO2: Determine the pressure distribution and forces acting over aerodynamical models.
CO3: Explain flow over the aerodynamical model through flow visualisation.
CO4: Illustrate the limits and usefulness of the experimental approach.
CO5: Demonstrate the experimental findings in clear oral and concise report
