The Strouhal Number | Flapping Wing Flight Ep. 2

Описание: This video will be an introduction to the Strouhal number. It's used often in oscillating flows as well as flapping wing flight, particularly in describing flapping wing flight, and so that's why we want to learn about it today. We'll find it in papers about flapping wing flight so we want to make sure that we understand what it is.

Channel Description:
Since the beginning, man had looked to the sky only to have remained earth-shackled. Aerospace engineering changed all that in a very short 100+ years. The airplane has come a long way since the 1903 Wright Flyer and aerospace engineering along with it. If you look at a modern-day fighter jet it’s no wonder that nowadays aerospace engineering curriculum can be a daunting task. This leads to 19 credit hour semesters being the norm, fast pace classes, missed content, less interactive lessons, lower comprehension due to shorter discussions, and never enough time to read the textbooks. Combine this with thick accents, difficult concepts, and professors who care more about research than teaching and engineering education turns into a game of stamina instead of a game of wit. At the Science of Flight it is believed that excellence in engineering starts with excellent education and tSoF is dedicated to improving aerospace engineering education for the student as well as the working professional.
