Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics to the study of air movement together. It is a subfield of fluid dynamics and gas, and the term "drag" is often used to refer to the gas dynamics. The earliest records of the basic concepts of aerodynamics on the work of Aristotle and Archimedes in the third and second centuries BC, but the efforts to find a quantitative theory of airflow develop until the 18th century, beginning in 1726 was Isaac Newton as one of the first in modern aerodynamics mind when he developed a theory of air resistance, which was later verified for low flow rates. Air resistance experiments were carried out by researchers in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the aid of the construction of the first wind tunnel in 1871 In 1738 …show more content…
Aerodynamics is a subfield of fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, and many aspects of the theory of aerodynamics are common to these fields. The term streamline is often synonymous with gas dynamics, with the difference that the "gas dynamic" is the study of the movement of all gases used, not limited to air. Formal study aerodynamics in the modern sense began in the eighteenth century, although the observations of reason, such as drag concepts were recorded much earlier. Most of the early efforts in aerodynamics worked in achieving heavier than air flight, the first of Wilbur and Orville Wright in 1903 Since then demonstrates the use of aerodynamics through mathematical analysis, empirical approximations, wind tunnel experiments and computer simulations, the scientific basis for the ongoing developments made in heavier than air flight and many other technologies. Recent work on the aerodynamics has focused on issues of compressible flow, turbulence and boundary layers in context and has increasingly rake
