Aerodynamics
1. The science that deals with the motion of air and other
gaseous fluids, and of the forces acting on bodies when the bodies
move through such fluids, or when such fluids move against or
around the bodies, as, his research in aerodynamics .
2. (a) The actions and forces resulting from the movement
or flow of gaseous fluids against or around bodies, as, the
aerodynamics of a wing in supersonic flight . (b) The properties
of a body or bodies with respect to these actions or forces, as,
the aerodynamics of a turret or of a configuration .
3. The application of the principles of gaseous fluid flows
and of their actions against and around bodies to the design and
construction of bodies intended to move through such fluids, as
a design used in aerodynamics.
