About this item
Amid a welter of topics on the aeronautical engineering curriculum-hypersonic fluid mechanics, heat transfer, nonequilibrium phenomena, etc.-this concise text stands out as a rigorous, classroom-tested treatment of classical aerodynamic theory-indispensable background for aeronautical engineers and the foundation of current and future research. The present volume is also unique for its recognition of matched asymptotic expansions as a unifying framework for introducing boundary-value problems of external flow over thin wings and bodies. In addition, the book fully acknowledges the important role of high-speed computers in aerodynamics.
After a short review of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, the authors offer a fairly extensive treatment of constant-density inviscid flow. Chapter 3 deals with singular perturbation problems, presenting an extremely useful technique not to be found in most texts. Subsequent chapters give solid basic coverage of these topics:
Chap. 4-Effects of Viscosity
Chap. 5-Thin-Wing Theory
Chap. 6-Siender-Body Theory
Chap. 7-Three-Dimensional Wings in Steady, Subsonic Flow
Chap. 8-Three-Dimensional Thin Wings in Steady Supersonic Flow
Chap. 9-Drag at Supersonic Speeds
Chap. 10-Use of Flow-Reversal Theorems in Drag Minimization Problems
Chap. 11-Interference and Nonplanar Lifting Surface theories
Chap. 12-Transonic Small-Disturbance Flow
Chap. 13-Unsteady Flow
Ideal as a primary or supplementary text at the graduate level, Aerodynamics of Wings and Bodies also offers working engineers a valuable reference to the resultsof modern aerodynamic research and a selection of new and useful analytical tools.
