For junior/senior and graduate-level courses in Aerodynamics, Mechanical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering. This text also serves as a useful reference for professionals in the aeronautics industry.
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 readers 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.
