The Science Club of Mohan Babu University organised an enlightening seminar on “Aerodynamics”, presented by Sravan Kumar Reddy, a first-year B Tech student, delved into the fundamental principles that govern the behaviour of air as it interacts with solid objects, particularly within the realms of aviation and automotive engineering. The presentation began with a comprehensive overview of essential aerodynamic concepts, including: -Lift and Drag: Understanding the forces that enable flight and impact performance. Sravan emphasized the significance of the Bernoulli Principle and Newton’s Laws in grasping the mechanics of flight, providing a solid foundation for the audience. The seminar further analysed various aerodynamic shapes, demonstrating how design influences both performance and efficiency. Sravan showcased:
A critical discussion followed on the impact of turbulence and boundary layers on airflow. Our beloved student, Mr. Sravan Kumar Reddy, highlighted the importance of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in modern engineering, showcasing how simulations help predict and optimize aerodynamic performance. To illustrate the relevance of aerodynamics, Sravan presented case studies of:
The seminar concluded with a lively Q&A session, where attendees engaged in further discussions about emerging trends in aerodynamics research. Participants left with a greater appreciation for the complexities of aerodynamics and its vital role in engineering innovations. This seminar scheduled on 17th of this month not only enlightened attendees about the principles of aerodynamics but also inspired future explorations in this dynamic field.
