Already one of the leading course texts on aerodynamics in the UK, the sixth edition welcomes a new US-based author team to keep the text current. The sixth edition has been revised to include the latest developments in compressible flow, computational fluid dynamics, and contemporary applications. Computational methods have been expanded and updated to reflect the modern approaches to aerodynamic design and research in the aeronautical industry and elsewhere, and new examples of ‘the aerodynamics around you’ have been added to link theory to practical understanding. NEW: Expanded coverage of compressible flow NEW: MATLAB(r) exercises throughout, to give students practice is using industry-standard computational tools. m-files available for download from companion website. NEW: contemporary applications and examples help students see the link between everyday physical examples of aerodynamics and the application of aerodynamic principles to aerodynamic design. NEW: additional examples and end of chapter exercises provide more problem-solving practice for students NEW: improved teaching support with powerpoint slides, solutions manual, m-files, and other resources to accompany the text Content: Front Matter , Pages i-ii Copyright , Page iv Preface , Pages xv-xvi Chapter 1 - Basic Concepts and Definitions , Pages 1-68 Chapter 2 - Fundamental Equations of Fluid Mechanics , Pages 69-147 Chapter 3 - Potential Flow , Pages 149-207 Chapter 4 - Two-Dimensional Wing Theory , Pages 209-267 Chapter 5 - Wing Theory , Pages 269-347 Chapter 6 - Compressible Flow , Pages 349-425 Chapter 7 - Airfoils and Wings in Compressible Flow , Pages 427-477 Chapter 8 - Viscous Flow and Boundary Layers , Pages 479-600 Chapter 9 - Flow Control and Wing Design , Pages 601-643 Chapter 10 - Propulsion Devices , Pages 645-687 Appendix A - Symbols and Notation , Pages 689-693 Appendix B , Pages 695-699 Appendix C - A Solution of Integrals of the Type of Glauert's Integral , Pages 701-703 Appendix D - Conversion of Imperial Units to Systéme International (SI) Units , Pages 705-706 Bibliography , Pages 707-713 Index , Pages 715-724 Machine generated contents note: Chapter 1: Basic Concepts and Definitions Chapter 2: Governing equations of fluid mechanics Chapter 3: Potential flow Chapter 4: Two-dimensional wing theory Chapter 5: Finite wing theory Chapter 6: Compressible flow: Part I Chapter 7: Compressible flow: Part II Chapter 8: Viscous flow and boundary layers Chapter 9: Flow control and wing design Chapter 10: Propellers and propulsion Appendices Bibliography Index.
