 Introduction

The study of how gases interact with moving bodies is known as aerodynamics.
Aerodynamics is mainly concerned with the forces of drag and lift induced by air flowing
over and through solid bodies since air is the most common gas we experience.

Engineers use aerodynamic concepts in the design of a wide range of objects, including
houses, bridges, and even soccer balls; however, the aerodynamics of a plane and
automobiles are of primary concern.

Aerodynamics is used in the study of flight and aeronautics, which is the science of
constructing and operating aircraft. Aeronautical engineers design aircraft that navigate
through the Earth's atmosphere using aerodynamic principles.
 Body paragraphs

What Are the Four Forces of Flight?

The four forces of flight are lift, weight, thrust and drag. These forces make an object
move up and down, and faster or slower. How much of each force there is changes how
the object moves through the air.

Weight
There is a weight to all on Earth. Gravity pulls things down, which causes this force. A
plane must be propelled in the opposite direction of gravity in order to travel. The force
needed to push an object is determined by its weight.

Lift

Lift is the push that lets something move up. It is the force that is the opposite of weight.
Everything that flies must have lift. For an aircraft to move upward, it must have more lift
than weight. A hot air balloon has lift because the hot air inside is lighter than the air
around it. Hot air rises and carries the balloon with it. A helicopter's lift comes from the
rotor blades at the top of the helicopter. Their motion through the air moves the
helicopter upward. Lift for an airplane comes from its wings.
 Drag
A force that seeks to slow something down is called drag. It makes moving an object
difficult. Walking or running through water is more difficult than walking or running
through the air. This is due to the fact that water has a higher drag coefficient than air.
The amount of drag is often affected by the shape of an object. When compared to flat
surfaces, most round surfaces have less drag. Surfaces that are narrow have less drag
than those that are wide. The more air that comes into contact with a surface, the more
drag it produces.

Thrust
Thrust is the force that is the opposite of drag. Thrust is the push that moves something
forward. For an aircraft to keep moving forward, it must have more thrust than drag. A
small airplane might get its thrust from a propeller. A larger airplane might get its thrust
from jet engines. A glider does not have thrust. It can only fly until the drag causes it to
slow down and land. An aircraft must have more thrust than drag to keep going forward.
A propeller could provide thrust to a small plane. Jet engines could provide propulsion to
a larger plane. There is no thrust in a glider. It can only fly until the drag slows it down
and forces it to land.
Law of Aerodynamics
Problems in aerodynamics can be solved using fluid dynamics conservation laws
according to the assumption of a fluid continuum. The three-conservation law of
aerodynamics are:

 Conservation of Mass

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation specifies that the
mass of the system has to remain constant over time for every system closed to any
transfer of matter and energy, as the mass of that system cannot change, so no
additional quantity or removal can be made.

 Conservation of Momentum

In a closed system where no matter is exchanged and external forces do not act, the
total momentum is constant.

 Conservation of Energy

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system
remains constant over time.

Together, these three laws are the known basis for Navier-Stokes equations. The
Navier-Stokes equations have no proven analytical solution and are solved using
computational techniques in modern aerodynamics.

The Euler equations are a series of related conservation equations that ignore viscosity
and can be used in situations where viscosity is assumed to have a minor impact.
Bernoulli's equation is also a one-dimensional approach of both momentum and energy
conservation equations.
 Conclusion

Aerodynamics is a branch of physics that studies the motion of air and other gaseous
fluids, as well as the forces that act on objects moving through them. Aerodynamics
aims to clarify the concepts that control the flight of aircraft, rockets, and missiles in
particular. It also involves the design of cars, high-speed trains, and ships, as well as the
construction of structures such as bridges and tall buildings to assess their wind
resistance.
