This curricular unit provides a comprehension of aerodynamics fundaments in different applications. Tools and methods for problem analysis and assessment on aerodynamics and fluid mechanics will be provided, regarding its applications on engineering. After the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to:

1. Understand, analyze and solve problems of external aerodynamics;
2. Understand the causes that originate aerodynamic forces and the influence of viscous friction;
3. Generally assess aerodynamic drag and lift under several applications;
4. Evaluate the impacts on specific applications (e.g. planes, vehicles, etc.).
