Why Study Aerodynamics? Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics Dynamics of an Incompressible, Inviscid Flow Field Viscous Boundary Layers Characteristic Parameters for Airfoil and Wing Aerodynamics Incompressible Flows Around Airfoils of Infinite Span Incompressible Flow About Wings of Finite Span Dynamics of a Compressible Flow Field Compressible, Subsonic Flows and Transonic Flows Two-Dimensional, Supersonic Flows Around Thin Airfoils Supersonic Flows Over Wings and Airplane Configurations Hypersonic Flows Aerodynamic Design Considerations Tools for Defining the Aerodynamic Environment Appendix A The Equations of Motion Written in Conservation Form Appendix B A Collection of Often Used Tables
Revised to reflect the technological advances and modern application in Aerodynamics, the Sixth Edition of Aerodynamics for Engineers merges fundamental fluid mechanics, experimental techniques, and computational fluid dynamics techniques to build a solid foundation for students in aerodynamic applications from low-speed through hypersonic flight. It presents a background discussion of each topic followed by a presentation of the theory, and then derives fundamental equations, applies them to simple computational techniques, and compares them to experimental data.
