In a narrative/paragraph form, please provide a 50-word biography on each instructor. Also
please send a complete resume.
Prof. Hafez has joined UC Davis in 1985 as a professor of Aeronautics. He has been teaching
graduate and undergraduate courses on Aerodynamics and Computational Fluid Dynamics. He
has a Ph.D. degree in Aerospace Engineering ( 1972) from USC. He is a Fellow of AIAA since
1994.
Prof. Chattot has a Ph. D. degree in Aeronautical Sciences (1971) from University of CaliforniaBerkeley. He joined UC Davis in 1989 and he has been teaching the Applied Aerodynamics
course at the undergraduate level. He has co-authored, with Prof. Hafez, a recent book:
Theoretical and Applied Aerodynamics (Springrer 2014).
3) Course Content Description
A. In narrative form, please provide a brief synopsis or overview of this course (150 words
or less).
The course covers classical and modern aerodynamics. Both theoretical and applied
aspects are considered at fundamental and intermediate levels. Eight lectures , two
hours each, will deal with the core materials including the effects of Geometry (Aspect
Ratio),Compressibility (Mach Number) and Viscosity (Reynolds Numbrer) with
applications to Airplane Design .The principles are explained using physics of fluids,
together with mathematical techniques necessary for the theory.
B. In bullet format, please provide learning objectives of the course (no more than 6
bullets)
*Understanding the classical theory of Aerodynamics-How Airplanes Fly ?
*Understanding Modern Aerodynamics, including transonic and hypersonic flows.
*Applications of principles of Aerodynamics to practical problems.
*The need for Computational Aerodynamics.
C. In an outline format, please provide a detailed outline including subheadings (no more
than 30 lines).
Course outline:

1.Steady ,two-dimensional, inviscid, incompressible, irrotational flow over cylinders and
Joukowsky Airofoils.
2.Thin Airfoils in incompressible Flow
3.Thin Airfoils in compressible Flow
4.Classical Wing Theories.
5.Transonic Slender Body theory (Area Rule involving lift) and Transonic Lifting Line.
6.Hypersonic Aerodynamics.
7.Viscous Flows –Boundary Layers and Wakes.
8.Viscious/Inviscid Interaction Procedures.
4) Course Audience/Market
A. In narrative form, give a brief paragraph on the audience intended for this course (50
words or less)
The course will be useful for students and researchers interested in Aerodynamics. It
covers the basics and fundamentals required for analysis and design of airplanes. The
only requirements are college- level math and fluid dynamics.
