Informationen zum Autor "Dr. Joseph Katz is a professor at San Diego State University, born in Budapest, Hungary. He is married and has three children. Joseph belongs to engineering organizations such as the AIAA and SAE and enjoys restoring old cars, playing soccer, petting his cats, and driving fast cars (he has the speeding tickets to prove). He is the author of several books on aero/fluid mechanics including the popular Race Car Aerodynamics: Designing for Speed." Klappentext Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft flying at low Mach number! and ground and marine vehicles. This text offers a modern treatment of both the theory of inviscid! incompressible! and irrotational aerodynamics! and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. A unique feature is that the computational approach--from a single vortex element to a three-dimensional panel formulation--is interwoven throughout. This second edition features a new chapter on the laminar boundary layer (emphasis on the viscous-inviscid coupling)! the latest versions of computational techniques! and additional coverage of interaction problems. The authors include a systematic treatment of two-dimensional panel methods and a detailed presentation of computational techniques for three-dimensional and unsteady flows.
