Fluid Dynamics for the Study of Transonic Flow

Zusatztext 'The book is very well written and is supported by the subject index and problems concluding each chapter. It can be highly recommended as one of the best textbooks for the university courses on transonic aerodynamics.'O. Titow. Zentralblatter d Klappentext This new book leads readers step-by-step through the complexities encountered as moving objects approach and cross the sound barrier. Zusammenfassung This new title leads readers step-by-step through the transition from subsonic to supersonic flow, and will help them develop an understanding of the complex theoretical principles involved. The work provides complete information on the fundamentals as well as matters of increasing complexity demonstrating the logic behind the computer analysis that is a necessary part of such a study. Inhaltsverzeichnis Brief review of the basic laws of aerodynamics; The theory of inviscid transonic flow; Non-steady transonic flow; Lift slope and drag rise at sonic speed; Analytical solutions of the transonic continuity equation; Viscous transonic flow; Numerical methods of transonic flow computation; Steps toward the optimum transonic aircraft; Transonic wind tunnel testing; Index.
