Course Name: Fundamentals of Theoretical and Experimental Aerodynamics

Course abstract

This course is introductory in nature and expected to impart firsthand knowledge of Aerodynamics. It combines fundamentals of theoretical and experimental aspects of Aerodynamics without making it too intense and detailed. After successful completion of this course the student should be well prepared for more advanced courses in the discipline. With ever increasing use of Aerodynamics in a wide gamut of applications like drones, UAVs, micro air vehicles, automobile aerodynamics, sports aerodynamics, industrial aerodynamics, defence and space, it is essential to understand the basics or quickly refresh the fundamental concepts of Aerodynamics while working on any of the above applications. This course exactly fulfils that need. I would like to once more emphasize that the primary intention of this course is to create a familiarity about Aerodynamics. It is not intended to prepare someone for research but induce the excitement and enthusiasm to pursue it further.

Prof. Arnab Roy

1. I am currently working as Professor at the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kharagpur. The above weblink provides my research details. 2. I have taught various courses covering Aerodynamics, introductory and advanced courses in CFD, Wind Tunnel Design and Testing as well as a few courses in Aerospace Propulsion at IIT Kharagpur to UG/ PG and PhD students.On almost all occasions I have received an overall student feedback rating between 4 and 5 (on a scale of 5). In all, I have about 16 years teaching experience at UG and PG levels combined. 3. My research interests include computational and experimental fluid dynamics. I am also involved in aerospace propulsion research. I have undertaken and executed projects for different organizations like AOARD (Japan), Boeing (USA), AR&DB, DLJ-DRDO, RDSO, ISRO, DST etc 4. I have delivered several CFD related invited lectures at GE Aviation JFWTC, Bangalore (2019); CFD Workshop, BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus (2016); 13th Aeronautical Society of India Annual CFD Symposium at IISc Bangalore (2011),Indo US INDUS-MAV Workshop at Bangalore,organized by NAL and ADE Bangalore (2009) etc.
