Aerodynamics and Computation

The two themes in the Aerodynamics programme will suit graduates or similarly qualified individuals from engineering, scientific and mathematical backgrounds, with some experience of fluid dynamics, who are aiming for advanced specialisation in aerodynamics.

Both programmes emphasise the fundamentals of aerodynamics as a subject. Aerodynamics and Computation focuses on numerical methods and the physics and computation of turbulence.

Race Car Aerodynamics centres on analysis, computation and measurement of turbulent flows associated with high-performance race cars.

Aerodynamics and Computation

Core modules: Numerical methods; Computational fluid dynamics (CFD); Applications of CFD; Turbulence 1: physics and measurement; Turbulence 2: computation and modelling

Seven optional modules from: Acoustics; Aerospace CFD; Analytical and numerical acoustics; Applied aerodynamics; Biological flows; Compressible flow; Design, search and optimisation: principles, methods and parameterisation; Design, search and optimisation: case studies; Experimental techniques for aerodynamics; Flow control; Hypersonics and high-temperature gas dynamics; Powered lift or aircraft propulsion; Race car aerodynamics; Wing aerodynamics

First- or upper second-class honours degree or equivalent in engineering, mathematics or a science-based subject; applicants with relevant employment experience will be considered. English Language Requirements IELTS band: 6.5 TOEFL paper-based test score : 580 TOEFL iBT® test: 92 IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa. The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
