This graduate course is focused on the fundamentals and applications of bluff-body aerodynamics, including the flows around cylinders, prisms, buildings, and vehicles. Literature search and review, problem solving, and experimental approaches are adopted. As part of the course, students will perform a wind tunnel experiment focused on the flow around a bluff body and learn some basic experimental techniques related to bluff-body aerodynamics. Corequisite(s): ME 994 or ME 996
