ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 1991
Methods based on aerodynamics are developed to simulate and control the motion of objects in fluid flows. To simplify the physics for animation, the problem is broken down into two parts: a fluid flow regime and an object boundary regime. With this simplification one can approximate the realistic behaviour of objects moving in liquids or air.

Aerodynamic, hydro-aerodynamic and destructive testing
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2010Hurricane-induced losses in the USA increased from US$1·3 billion per year pre 1990 to US$ 36 billion per year post 2000. In 2005, the losses exceeded US$100 billion. Hurricanes caused over 1400 fatalities in 2004–2005. Research focusing on the complex interaction between hurricanes and the built environment is therefore necessary to develop a ...

Response : Dragonfly Aerodynamics
Science, 1986The aerodynamics of dragonflies, discussed by C. Somps and M. Luttges (14 June, p. 1326), present an intriguing problem. I share the author's conviction that an understanding of unsteady aerodynamics is essential for an understanding of insect flight. I also agree that dragonflies may use nonconventional mechanisms for producing lift.

Deconstruction and aerodynamics
Philosophy, 1993Deconstruction is commonly associated with the philosophy of Derrida. But there are also non-philosophers who say they engage in deconstruction, for example architects, anthropologists and literary critics. This may lead some people to suppose that deconstruction is not concerned with specifically philosophical problems.

Aerodynamics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the fluid dynamic forces and moments that act on moving objects. Lift and drag, the aerodynamic force components perpendicular and parallel to the oncoming fluid velocity, are both the result of viscous effects within a fluid flow.

Introduction of Parachute Aerodynamics into an Undergraduate Aerodynamics Course [PDF]
49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2011 This paper describes an aerodynamics course that covers the basics of a typical first course in aerodynamics, but also includes two weeks of coverage of parachute aerodynamics. It is designed to fill a need by providing students with an introduction to parachutes as a resource for local research labs and industry, as well as providing a university’s ...

Aerodynamics and aerodynamic research in Formula 1
The Aeronautical Journal, 2013AbstractThis paper will address the engineering performance differentiators for an F1 car and highlight the difference aerodynamics can make to that performance. It will also consider some basic aerodynamic challenges and the main tools used for aerodynamic exploration by teams.

Abstract A flying bird generates lift forces to counteract gravity and thrust forces to overcome drag. The magnitude of these forces can be crudely approximated using elementary physical principles. Steady flight in still air at a uniform speed and at one altitude is the simplest case.
