DN400 - Applied aerodynamics

OBJECTIVES Application of fluid mechanics to aircraft aerodynamics. The typical flows around airfoils and wings are presented for different flight situation (low subsonic, high subsonic, transonic, supersonic). Some basic analytical methods are proposed, and applied to treat the problems associated to aircraft aerodynamics, such as design, efficient lift generation, drag reduction, transonic treatments… Beside the general knowledge of the typical flows found in aeronautical configuration, a basic aerodynamic sense is developed to allow the constructive criticism of a result, should it come from a complex tool or from a aerodynamic situation out of aeronautic field.

Organization 8 Cours (10 h) 2 BE (5 h) 2 TD (2.5 h) 1 Test écrit (1.25 h)

Hours: 18.75 h


ECTS: 1.5

CONTENTS The course is based on an inviscid description of the flow around airfoils and wing for increasing complexity (1D incompressible, 3D incompressible, 1D/3D subsonic compressible, 1D/3D supersonic). At each step the influence of the viscosity through the value of the Reynolds number is discussed. The lift generation is explained by the use of thin airfoil theory. The importance of the geometry (mean camber line, angle of attack) is detailed. The influence of viscous effect, the separation and stall phenomenon are then presented; the influent factors in that process identified. The induced drag generated by a wing of finite span is presented, together with its consequences on the general shapes of wings. The problem of compressibility of high subsonic flows and supersonic flows through the increasing of the Mach number is then treated. Finally some consideration of drag estimation and reduction, and a presentation of up-to-date numerical and experimental tools is proposed.

SM402 - Modeling for aeronautical structures

OBJECTIVES The assimilation of this module will allow the students to do the modeling of a real aircraft structure, by the finite element method, with simplified elements such as bars, beams, shells and membranes. A short theoretical presentation coupled with small classes will introduce finite elements in a simple way. The assumptions that lead to the creation of simple elements such as bars, beams, membrane and shell will be detailed. In a second part, students will learn to do the modeling of structures, using the computer code Patran-Nastran. Simple structure for which the theoretical results are known, and more complicated structures, as fuselage or wing, will be studied. Different methods will be used to do the modeling of the structure. A study on the quality of results and the computation time will be made depending on the size and type of the elements, of the mesh, the chosen modeling, the introduction of the load and the boundary conditions.

SEMESTRE 2

2nd semester - Languages and Culture

2CULT - culture

OBJECTIVES Understand the nature of what we call European culture: its variations, common origins, divergences and contemporary applications.

Organization 16 Cours (20 h)

Hours: 20 h

ECTS: 1

CONTENTS The course is divided into two sections: Section ONE for students who come from a European cultural background: their basic program is about cultural comparisons and the question: What is Europe?What does Europe mean to you? Using Toulouse as an example of a city with a long, rich past the class will focus on the ways in which Toulouse represents "Europe" in its history, achitecture, structure and lifestyle, both past and present. Students will explore different parts of the city and note comparisons in both the structure and the life in Toulouse and their home cities... The course takes place half the time in situ in various parts of the city During classtime there will be presentations by groups of the ideas and arguments for and against the idea of a unified notion of Europe and its culture. Final work will be a presentation of a paper comparing some aspect of Toulouse to another city and country. Section TWO: For non-European students Using Toulouse as an example,and mode, this section will focus on the history of France and Toulouse to talk about what Europe was and is. Emphasis is placed on the roles of religion, political power, history and the arts in helping to identify European culture. Through visits to museums, neighborhoods and vestiges of the past, students wil begin to identify and understand the elements that can be called "European". The final project is a short paper on one aspect of life here in Toulouse that the student sees as "typically" European, with an analysis of why and what that is.

DN412 - Flight characteristics

OBJECTIVES The goal of this course is to illustrate the relationship between the aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft and the ability to fly it: - balancing it around its center of gravity; - maneuvering it; - stabilizing its movements. Fly-by-wire controls and flight computers have radically changed the approach to designing aircraft. The pilot now only defines the instructions and the computer ensures stabilization and compliance with those instructions. An aircraft no longer needs to be naturally stable. In parallel, this module presents the dimensioning study for the control surfaces and the studies required for defining the control laws which will be integrated in the computers.

4-1 MAS 13 - Control Implementation

OBJECTIVES In most automatic systems control laws are derived from continuous modelization. But real time implementation is generally done by computers or microcontrollers. The first goal of the course is to understand which potential problems occur when a continuous control law is simply discretized. The second goal is to learn some specific methodologyiesfor the analysis of discrete systems and design of discrete controllers. The course is divided in three distinct parts : - how to translate a "continuous" controller into a "discrete" controller, - how to design a discrete controller directly from a discrete model of the system, - a discrete controller is fully designed and implemented on a real system during several labworks. The industrial "hardware in the loop" concept is the key concept of this course.

Research project

DN440 - Research project

OBJECTIVES This project represents the ideal opportunity to learn through research. In particular, it is a question here of enabling the students to develop their own personal initiative and the reasoning modes and various skills expected of the engineer and researcher such as: innovation, creativity, the ability to design, leading, organizing, developing, self-teaching and managing a project. The project goes on in the semester 3.

Hours: 2.5 h


ECTS: 11

CONTENTS The principle consists of getting the students to divide up into groups, choose a scientific or technical subject proposed by the departments, and which they will have to formulate and attempt to solve by adopting a "research" approach. Once the subject and the group have been accepted by the department, the group will have to carry out its research, using a "project" approach with a certain number of milestones that must be complied with (pre-project, distribution of tasks, costs and deadlines, appointments with the departments, presentation of the work in the form of a report which they must present orally). The assessment, carried out throughout the project and more particularly at the "pre-project", "report" and "oral presentation" milestones, allows the students to gain awareness not only of their technical knowledge and ability to put it into practice on a concrete and general problem but also of their individual and collective behavior in the group: aptitude to work as a team, and their will to take responsibility. Assessment : The assessment of the 1st part of the project is done at the end of semester 2 . A second assessment will take place at the end of the project (end of semester 3). A mark is given based on : individual behavior, results obtained, scientific value and amount of work, quality of the documents and of the oral presentation.
