About the Book
Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, fourth edition, offers the most readable, interesting, up-to-date overview of aerodynamics to be found in any text. The classic organization of the text has been preserved, with new standalone sections on fundamental concepts, viscous flow, in viscid incompressible flow and in viscid compressible flow.
Key Features
Self-contained viscous flow sections at the end of various chapters to contextualize the topic and complement discussion of in viscid flow.
Strong descriptive coverage of Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Excellent writing style, and integration of history and biography to show the development of aerodynamics.
Worked examples and homework problems have been added to provide key concept practice for students.
"Design Boxes" that relate basic concepts to actual aircraft design.
