任职学校
布朗大学（Brown University）创立于1764年，是全美第七古老的大学，坐落在美国罗得岛州首府普罗维登斯市，是一所享誉世界的顶级私立研究型大学，闻名世界的八所常春藤联盟成员，北美顶尖大学学术联盟美国大学协会成员。布朗大学在2020年U.S.News美国大学综排Top14。
项目背景
飞机为什么会飞？其中的原理相信很多人都有听说过，由于机翼上表面的弯度大于下表面的弯度，上表面气流的流速整体上要高于下表面的气流速度，根据伯努利理论，机翼上下表面就会产生一个压力差，提供向上飞机的升力。同时，车头造型的设计中涉及到的流体力学因素众多，比如车头的边角、车头的形状及高度等，人们发明了流线型汽车。本项目则将主要探讨流体力学在飞机与汽车车身设计中的应用，明确流体力学对汽车与飞机外形构造发挥出的重要作用，能够让汽车与飞机造型的构造更加合理，保证合理协调空气及车辆之间的相互作用力，为汽车与飞机的行进便利创造条件。
项目介绍
流体的运动存在于人类活动的方方面面，从生理流动到飞机和汽车，工程师必须学会预测流体的行为，以设计设备和系统来处理和操纵流动。本项目将以汽车、飞机为例，探究流体力学在工程中应用。从流体的特性入手，分析流体的速度、流量、压力、流体静力学知识，从伯努利方程入手分析车辆与飞机的运动阻力与升力。本项目重点还原了飞机、汽车的翼型设计过程中流体力学所占有的重要地位。学生将在导师的指导下以科学的方法记录并且分析研究结果，在项目结束时提交项目报告，进行成果展示。

The motion of fluids exists in every aspect of human activity, from physiological flows to airplanes and automobiles, and engineers must learn to predict the behavior of fluids in order to design devices and systems to handle and manipulate the flow. This project will take automobiles and airplanes as examples to explore the application of fluid mechanics in engineering. Starting from the characteristics of the fluid, the velocity, flow, pressure, and hydrostatic knowledge of the fluid are analyzed, and the motion resistance and lift of vehicles and aircraft are analyzed from the Bernoulli equation. This project focuses on restoring the important position of fluid mechanics in the airfoil design process of aircraft and automobiles. Under the guidance of the instructor, students will record and analyze the research results in a scientific way, submit a project report at the end of the project, and display the results.
