	Objectives
	DESCRIBE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF AERODYNAMICS, EXPLAIN THE MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE GENERATION OF AERODYNAMICS FORCES ON ROAD VEHICLES, AND THE METHODOLOGIES FOR THEIR EVALUATION. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE NECESSARY EXPERTISE TO EVALUATE THE AERODYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF VEHICLES OF DIFFERENT TYPES AND GIVE USEFUL INDICATIONS FOR THEIR PROJECT.

	Prerequisites
	FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES IT IS REQUIRED A BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF FLUID MECHANICS SO AS TAUGHT IN THE COURSE OF THE 3-YEAR DEGREE, THE MOST COMMON NUMERICAL METHODS USED IN FLUID DYNAMICS, AND MORE GENERALLY PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL BASES COMMON TO A DEGREE IN ENGINEERING.

	Contents
	ELEMENTS OF FLUID MECHANICS. ENERGY AND VORTICITY EQUATIONS. IRROTATIONAL FLOWS. AERODYNAMICS OF THIN BODIES: LIFT AND DRAG. AIRFOILS AT LOW INCIDENCE. FINITE-SPAN WINGS. STALL. AERODYNAMICS OF BLUFF BODIES. FREE AND FORCED SEPARATION. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FLOW FIELD. AERODYNAMICS OF THE VEHICLES: PECULIARITIES OF VARIOUS CAR TYPES. INFLUENCE OF GLOBAL CONFIGURATION AND INTERACTION OF SINGLE COMPONENTS WITH VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL METHODS FOR THE EVALUATION OF AERODYNAMIC FORCES. ISSUES RELATED TO THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS AT HIGH REYNOLDS NUMBERS. BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO TURBULENCE MODELS.
