AE223-Fluid Mechanics Lab

I am teaching AE223 this term in Aerospace Engineering Department. We cover the AE223 lab in two parts:

PART I: Fluid Mechanics

• Viscosity Measurement
• Laminar and Turbulent Flow Visualization
• Pitot Tube Experiment
• Venturi Meter
• Impact of Jet
• Pelton Wheel

PART II: Aerodynamics

• Flow Over a Bend
• Introduction to Wind Tunnel
• Lift and Drag Measurement
• Drag Over Different Geometries
• Pressure Coefficient Over a Cylindrical Surface
• Smoke Flow Visualization

The suggested reading could be;

• Introduction to Flight by John Anderson (2021)
