An Engineering Approach to the Calculation of Aerodynamic Flows

About this book

"This book describes an engineering approach for calculating aerodynamic flows that is based on interactive boundary-layer (IBL) and stability-transition (ST) theories. The IBL theory involves numerical solutions of the reduced Navier-Stokes equations in which Euler and boundary-layer equations are coupled with an interaction law. The ST theory is based on the linear stability theory and employs the e[superscript n] method.". "The book also describes in detail the application of this approach to airfoils, wings and high-lift systems in detail. It is recommended for undergraduate and graduate students and practicing engineers interested in aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and modern numerical methods and computer programs for solving linear and nonlinear ordinary and parabolic partial differential equations."--BOOK JACKET.
