Aerodynamics for Engineers
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-1-009-09862-5 (ISBN)
Now reissued by Cambridge University Press, this sixth edition covers the fundamentals of aerodynamics using clear explanations and real-world examples. Aerodynamics concept boxes throughout showcase real-world applications, chapter objectives provide readers with a better understanding of the goal of each chapter and highlight the key 'take-home' concepts, and example problems aid understanding of how to apply core concepts. Coverage also includes the importance of aerodynamics to aircraft performance, applications of potential flow theory to aerodynamics, high-lift military airfoils, subsonic compressible transformations, and the distinguishing characteristics of hypersonic flow. Supported online by a solutions manual for instructors, MATLAB® files for example problems, and lecture slides for most chapters, this is an ideal textbook for undergraduates taking introductory courses in aerodynamics, and for graduates taking preparatory courses in aerodynamics before progressing to more advanced study.
John J. Bertin, deceased, was Professor Emeritus of Aeronautics at the US Air Force Academy, formerly holding positions at NASA, The University of Texas at Austin, and Sandia National Laboratories. Russell M. Cummings is Professor of Aeronautics at the US Air Force Academy. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and the Royal Aeronautical Society, and the lead author of Applied Computational Aerodynamics (Cambridge University Press, 2015).
