Abstract
Fluids are the natural environment for the life of living organisms, whether terrestrial or marine. Within this framework, all human activity and creativity fall within the scope of the influence of fluid dynamics, with its two branches, hydrodynamics, and aerodynamics. With the growth of the functional capacity of products and the increasing growth of the consumer sector of products considering the pursuit of achieving environmental sustainability, it was imperative for product designers to strive to achieve performance, formal and functional harmony between the product and the surrounding environment in the context of its use. The matter went beyond that principle to an attempt to benefit from environmental effects by including aerodynamic standards in product design to achieve the highest functional performance of products. This research discusses the effects of aerodynamics and their reflection on the formal transformations in product design. Aerodynamic effects vary between force effects such as the Magnus effect, the Coanda effect, the air curtain effect, and the ground effect. Thermal effects such as the stack effect, the Meredith effect, and the air-cooling effect. Including each of them in its context in building the product shape helps enhance the integration and fusion between the external shape of the product and the internal systems, which is reflected in reducing the rate of energy consumption and the efficiency of the functional performance of industrial design products, which is one of the most important elements of achieving balance and environmental sustainability for industrial product design.
