Aeroacoustics
This module covers aerodynamic noise sources and sound propagation in moving media. Aeroacoustics is of great importance in engineering settings involving high speed flows, including transport (aeroplane, aeroengine, automobile, train), industrial processes and the design of consumer devices.
For students from acoustical engineering, this module places the discipline of acoustics in the wider context of fluid mechanics. For students with a background in aerodynamics, this module provides a self-contained introduction to acoustics and its interactions with other aspects of fluid mechanics. -

Aerodynamics
The aim of this module is to extend the fundamental ideas of fluid flow from low Mn (mainly incompressible) to high subsonic and supersonic flow regimes. In terms of application, the primary focus will be on aerofoil design, for which the effects of angle of attack, Mach number, aerofoil thickness and camber will be studied in different flow regimes.
A secondary objective is to provide hands-on experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Summative coursework elements using a commercial standard solver, to cement the main ideas of the module through numerical experiments is undertaken. -

Aerodynamics
In this module the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics are introduced. The main focus is on inviscid, incompressible flow, but, viscous effects will also be covered. Finally, static stability of an aircraft is introduced. The lectures are complemented by laboratory sessions with relevance to the taught material. -

Aeroelasticity
This module concerns structural dynamics and aeroelastic phenomena that can result in dangerous static and dynamic deformations and instabilities, particularly relevant in the design of modern aircraft and space vehicles. It builds on basic knowledge on free vibration modes of aircraft structures, continuous and multi-degrees of freedom systems, and variational principles in dynamics, introducing students to the concepts and tools used in unsteady aerodynamics. It is intended that the student will become familiar with the important issues and philosophies associated with aeroelastic stability and response, will become conversant in the terminology of aero-servo-elasticity, and will achieve a working understanding of these issues applied to various aeronautical systems. Finally, the student will acquire a solid knowledge and practical skills using professional software tools currently adopted by large aerospace industries.

SESA3030 2027-28
Aerospace Control Design
This module builds on the student’s understanding of mechanics and dynamics to develop an understanding of feedback control systems and the parameters that influence their stability and performance. The module covers time and frequency domain analysis of dynamic systems and considers both Laplace and state-space system representations. Starting with a review of general linear systems theory, the ideas of dynamic and static stability are developed. The relationship between system poles (or eigenvalues) and performance and stability are described and used to determine system responses to control inputs. The design of feedback control systems is then introduced together with the ideas of disturbance rejection, multivariable systems and design tradeoffs.
The lectures are complemented by a set of in-depth design examples in which the techniques presented in the course material are used to solve real problems. Regular coursework is used to provide formative and summative assessment and Matlab examples and problems used to develop application skills. -
