AE 2251 –AERODYNAMICS I
Two Marks Questions.
UNIT-I
1. Define momentum principle.
Net force acting on a mass of fluid is equal to rate of change momentum of flow in
that direction.
7. Define circulation.
It is a flow means that the flow system could be resolved into a uniform irrotational
portion and a circulating portion and if circulation is present in a fluid motion
vorticity must be present even though it is restricted to a space.
8. What is aerodynamics?
It is the study of flow of gases around the solid bodies.

11. Differentiate compressible and Incompressible flow.
In a compressible flow, Density of a flow density will not be change from point to
point in a fluid flow, for incompressible flow density will not be change from point to
point in a fluid flow.
12. What are the forces can be experienced by the flowing of fluid on a system
1. Body forces like gravity , electromagnetic forces(or)any other forces which act
at a distance on a fluid inside volume.
2. Surface forces like pressure and shear stress acting on the control surface S.
13. What is the principle of conservation of mass?
Mass can be neither created nor destroyed. This is the basic principle for
continuity equation.
14. Differentiate steady & unsteady flow.
In a steady flow fluid characteristics is velocity, pressure , Density etc at a point
do not change with time but for unsteady flow these characteristics will change
with repeat to time.
UNIT-II
UNIT-III
1. When will conformal transformation break down?
If aerodynamic design to involve only 2D flows at low speeds the design method based
on conformal transformation theory would be best choice this technique can extended to
three dimensional.
7. Explain the roll of the starting vortex (cast of vortex) in establishing the lift on an
aerofoil?
The starting vortex builds and grows up to just the right strength such that equal and
opposite clockwise circulation around the airfoil leads to smooth flow from trailing edge
(at this situation kutta condition is successfully satisfied)when the point is reached the
vorticity shed from the L.e becomes zero, the starting vortex no longer grows in strength
and steady circulation exists around the airfoil.
8. Show that as per kutta condition the strength of vortex at trailing edge I zero (or)
what is kutta trailing edge condition
1)for finite t.e angle v1=v2=0 therefore strength of vortex at a =ϒ (t.e=0)
2)for cusped t.e v1=v2≠0 but as v1=v2 strength of vortex at a=ϒ (t.e ≠0 )
Kutta condition makes the the strength of vortex at t.e must be equal to zero.
UNIT-IV
UNIT- V
1. What is meant by boundary layer?
A narrow belt or layer of relatively slow moving fluid next to the surface of the body
moving in the fluid is called boundary layer. There is a continuous change of velocity

through the layer from zero at surface to free stream value of outer edge of boundary
value.
