Aerodynamics of Viscous Fluids
MIT OpenCourseWare's graduate course on viscous fluid dynamics, focused mainly on boundary layers. Topics include boundary layer theory under varying assumptions of compressibility, turbulence, dimensionality, and heat transfer, along with the parameters that drive transition and the way boundary layers influence outer potential flow. The course covers the resulting stall and drag mechanisms in aerodynamic flows and includes numerical solution techniques with worked exercises. Materials come from MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and are freely available through OpenCourseWare, including lecture notes and problem sets, under a Creative Commons license. No certificate is offered, since MIT OCW publishes course materials for self-study rather than as a credentialed program.
