Aerodynamics and Computation

Entry requirements

Upper second class honours degree (2:1 or equivalent) in Engineering, Mathematics, Physical Sciences or a related subject; please note that this specialist course recruits a small number of students who must have a specific background at first degree level in fluid dynamics/aerodynamics.

Those candidates with relevant employment experience will be considered if they do not meet the requirements. Applications are assessed individually, and any candidates who do not match the standard profile but who have appropriate academic qualifications and/or industry experience are encouraged to apply.

Course content

For engineering, mathematics and science graduates with a strong background in fluid dynamics or aerodynamics, our MSc Aerodynamics and Computation programme will provide you with the opportunity to continue your education and specialisation. Our computation programme focuses on numerical methods and the physics and computation modelling of turbulence. This will enhance your knowledge of flow physics and your ability to use state-of-the-art computational tools to improve industrial designs.

Compulsory modules include: Aerothermodynamics; Advanced Computational Methods I; Applications of CFD; Turbulence: Physics and Modelling; MSc Research Project

Optional modules include: four from: Advanced Computational Methods II, Aeroacoustics; Biological Flow; Design, Search and Optimisation; Experimental Methods for Aerodynamics; Aeroelasticity; Flow Control; Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics; Race Car Aerodynamics; Wing Aerodynamics; Numerical Methods.
