Aerodynamics is the study of airflow around objects and its impact on forces and moments. This field covers fundamental principles, aerodynamic variables, forces and moments, practical objectives, and more. By exploring topics like flow similarity and dimensional analysis, aerodynamic engineers predict forces on bodies moving through fluids like air. With a focus on pressure distribution, shear stress, lift, drag, and other key factors, aerodynamics plays a crucial role in various applications, from aircraft design to heat transfer analysis in fluid flows.
