Synopsis
Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of
aircraft flying at low Mach number, and ground and marine
vehicles. This book offers a modern treatment of the subject, both
the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational
aerodynamics and the computational techniques now available to
solve complex problems. A unique feature of the text is that the
computational approach (from a single vortex element to a
three-dimensional panel formulation) is interwoven throughout.
Thus, the reader can learn about classical methods of the past,
while also learning how to use numerical methods to solve
real-world aerodynamic problems. This second edition brings the
first entirely up to date, with a new chapter on the laminar
boundary layer (emphasis on the viscous-inviscid coupling), the
latest versions of computational techniques, and additional
coverage of interaction problems. It includes a systematic
treatment of two-dimensional panel methods and a detailed
presentation of computational techniques for three-dimensional and
unsteady flows. With extensive illustrations and examples, this
book will be useful for senior and beginning graduate-level
courses, as well as a helpful reference tool for practising
engineers.
