The whole series is a gem. I earned a math/physics degree some decades ago and this course has exactly the right pace to bring me up to speed with aerodynamics.
I just finished the fluid mechanics course in your channel, I gained a lot more knowledge than what is taught in my college! Thanks to you!! I want to know which book you refer to for the fluid mechanics and Aerodynamics course? I want to further read about them
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful. The clear favorite Aerodynamics book in the community is Anderson's "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics". In Fluid Mechanics, the best text is not as agreed upon within the community. Top names you will hear are White's "Fluid Mechanics", Panton's "Incompressible Flows" and Batchelor's "Introduction to Fluid Mechanics". Otherwise, specialty books depend on your interests (turbulence, boundary layers, etc). I actually have taught from Hibbeler's "Fluid Mechanics" which isn't terrible and has nice real-world examples.
Hey hi , I'm also doing aerospace engineering ( first year) and the college starts July 10 . I'm more passionate to learn about space shuttles , and i want to self learn . Is you can suggest me on how to self learn ? Thanks a lot ❤
@TITAN_2608 Rocket science! I am not sure of any good references in this specific area---it's not really my area of expertise. I know NASA has a ton of good online resources, that's probably where I would start.
💥💥 i started this lectures and i have finished few topics. Sir can you please upload numericals and solutions tricks asap for high Level university entrance exam (like GATE in india) .
Hi prof. Van buren....If a person wants to learn from this course, which class should he be in? And if a person in 9 grade want to learn aerodynamics is he can?Bearing in mind that he will learn some advanced math but not quite as far as learning calculus....With all my regards, Professor
Hi and sorry for the late reply! The semester got a way from me. I think you can learn elements of aerodynamics at any level. To be able to learn from this specific video set, I recommend having basics in math, physics, and some introduction fluid mechanics. These are all typical for undergad engineer courses, and you will likely see a bunch of it in highschool as well. Also, any sort of DIY projects you can do to keep your interest in aero will really be helpful! That way you get a physical understanding of some concepts.
It's certainly a good start! However, aerospace engineering majors tend to dive deeper. You would take classes like Flight Mechanics (the actual dynamics and stability of flying aircraft), possible Rotorcraft (helicopters), Aerospace Structures and Materials (where we are in aero today is just as much due to advancement in materials as it is in aerodynamics), possibly a course like Aeroelasticity, etc. Some of the lectures I will be adding in the near future include Hypersonics, Swimming and Flying Animals, Ballistics, Rockets, and Ground Vehicles
I am not sure if you will see this comment, but I am a math PhD student with a lot of interest in the aerodynamics of motor racing (Formula 1). I don't really have much background in physics other than some in high school, so I moreso want to learn about it while not necessarily being able to do full computations just yet. Do you have any recommendations for starting points? I would like to just jump into this series but I'm unsure whether a bunch of the fluid mechanics will be too complex to understand. And if I were to find a fluid mechanics series, would there be other prerequisites that are entirely necessary to start watching and learning? Thanks.
Hi Haris! I think at your level of mathematics you should be able to dive in without too much of an issue. I don't want to over self-promote, but I think my Fluid Mechanics series of is a nice starting point. Mostly because I try and show the physics from a fundamental level (it's basically just a fancy version of Newton's second law and Conservation of Mass). Also, that series directly leads into the Aerodynamics series with similar style, approach, and symbols. Let me know what you think and if you have any more questions! However, I do tend to favor physical explanations over mathematical ones (I'm not the most mathematical person). A good person to check out for a stronger math perspective is Steve Brunton who has quite popular videos that are sometimes fluid focused.
@@prof.vanburen Thank you for such a quick response! I wouldn't have expected one on a two year old video haha. I will definitely check out your fluid mechanics series, I really do enjoy your style of presenting and lecturing (through the first three videos of this series). I think I will actually prefer the more physical explanations so that they'll give me a wider breadth of experiencing the topics. However it'll probably be a slightly longer learning curve but that's what I expect from this regardless. I'm not sure if this is going too far into the math, but do either of these video series (Fluid Mech. or Aerodynamics) cover the PDE's that are used?
@@harisserdarevic4913 We do cover the PDEs and the physical source of the terms. We also solve them for very simplified cases (flow between parallel plates, pipe flows, boundary layers). However, more complex flows quickly become unsolvable from a pen/paper approach and gets into graduate level fluid mechanics, which I haven't covered.
Yes sorry! This is the difficulty of trying to make content that works for YT and in lectures. You can download (and zoom in on) my notes from sites.udel.edu/vanburen/education/
Great question! I have found this resource pretty fun and useful, due to having nice embedded graphics that let you get a feel for what's happening mathematically: complex-analysis.com/content/joukowsky_airfoil.html
The authors have two wrong scientific approaches: researching the creation of Lift force and Low pressure at upper side of the wing, relative to the ground surface and Earth. I explain the aerodynamic cavitation and existence of Lee side aerocavern, and creation of Aerodynamic force. Low pressure creates force normal to the cord (contact surface), and it name is "aerodynamic force" because is made from the air (aero) in motion (dynamic), or wind relative to the wing (object).
When a solid body in fluid is displaced, in its previous place in a moment, in a small time lag that cannot be measured, there is/was a "cavern in the fluid". The body moving through the atmosphere pushes and swept out the air along the way and creates an aerocaverne - a zone with subatmospheric pressure on it backside.
Lift is not upforce! In the dictionary, Lift means pick up and move to a different position. In aerodynamics, Lifting is a lateral moving, Lift is component of the aerodynamic force that "displaces" an object from the line of air flow.
Thanks! Anderson's book called Fundamentals of Aerodynamics is my favorite and is wildly popular. For more advanced topics, I think it depends on your aerodynamic specialty (compressible, supersonic, micro vs macro, etc.)

Thanks Prof.! I'm a student who is interested in this kind of stuff, but doesn't study Aerodynamics yet. Your lectures really help me a lot! :)
Glad you like them!
This channel is super helpful for aerospace engineers thanks a lot professor

You should do more subjects man. I would watch them!!!
I am looking to do automotive design at university but aerodynamics is really interesting to me so i cant wait to pit this on my personal statements
can you please make a lecture for heat transfer and thermodynamics? this lecture is amazing,thank you very much
That's a good idea! It certainly is the next logical course to cover, otherwise maybe a hydrostatics course.
easier to digest, this lecture is way better than the book itself.
Aw thanks! Couldn't do it without the original book, but it's always good to have choices when it comes to learning format.
Kindly include the reference book too...u are awesome sir
@@KrishnaCalling I have used a number of books for this course, but definitely the standout book for aero is Fundamentals of Aerodynamics by Anderson.
High school freshmen here. This video series is legendary.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and best of luck in your studies!
💥💥 i started this lectures and i have finished few topics. Sir can you please upload numericals and solutions tricks asap for high Level university entrance exam (like GATE in india) .
Ah I haven't thought about doing example problems, it's a nice idea! I have very little experience with college entrance exams.
@@prof.vanburen sir can we crack the gate exam or other competative exams with concepts that your teaching in the above videos
What an incredible and digestible lesson, I have a degree in hydrologic engineering and wanted to learn more about something more interesting lol
Thanks so much!! Hydrological engineering sounds pretty awesome too.
I want to learn so much about Aerodynamics 🎉😮
This is a good place to start I hope!

Hey thanks!
Thank you very much this and your other Videos help so much 😮🎉❤
I'm glad they helped!
Your teaching style is very effective. :)
Thank you!
Please make more video related to aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
Will do! Took a small Summer break, back at it again in the Fall.
I'm not a student and i want to study aerodynamics for my rocket thank's
You're welcome, good luck in your studies!
Sir, your videos are absolutely brilliant! Can I have this ppt anyhow?
Thank you! A PDF of the notes can be found here for both of my video series: sites.udel.edu/vanburen/education/
I loved it. It was the best lecture
Glad you enjoy it!!
You’re a great prof!
Thank you so much!!
Great introduction
