Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics is the study of the movement of air and other gases and their interaction with solid bodies. It studies flow patterns, forces and pressure distributions that occur when moving through the air and is crucial for the design of airplanes, cars and other vehicles in order to improve efficiency and stability. In SynTrac, one example is the joint optimization of propellers and laminar blades, where interactions of flow effects are used as efficiently as possible.
