Aerodynamics for Engineers

About this book

Aerodynamics for Engineers merges fundamental fluid mechanics experimental techniques and computational fluid dynamics techniques to build a solid foundation for the reader in aerodynamic applications from low-speed flight through hypersonic flight. Using a combination of background discussion and theory this text explores a wide range of topics including aerodynamic applications; compressible flow fields; calculating aerodynamic performance parameters; the effects of viscosity compressibility shock/boundary-layer interactions turbulence modeling; and more. For engineers in the field who seek information about a new area need a reference to review knowledge from their past and/or want to find data and meaningful references from which to start on new projects.
