Fundamentals of Modern Unsteady Aerodynamics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book introduces the concept of unsteady aerodynamics and its underlying principles. The author provides the readers with a comprehensive review of the fundamental physics of free and forced unsteadiness, the terminology and basic equations of aerodynamics ranging from incompressible flow to hypersonics. The book also covers modern topics related to the developments made in recent years, especially in relation to wing flapping for propulsion. The book is written for graduate and senior year undergraduate students in aerodynamics and also serves as a reference for experienced researchers. Each chapter includes ample examples, questions, problems and relevant references.

This 3rd edition includes a new chapter about unsteady applications related to the thrust optimization, aerodynamic stability and trim because there has been much progress in unsteady applications of the flapping wing technology. In addition, further material is presented in Appendix for evaluating the stability derivatives so that no derivation of equations is left incomplete but not overdone in the text.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This monograph, giving the progress in unsteady aerodynamics during about a century, is written as a graduate textbook. An additional aim is to provide the practicing engineers with the knowledge of the most recent developments in unsteady aerodynamics. ... the author presents a three-dimensional analysis of swept wings with extra lift created by leading edge separation. Ten appendices supplement the formulae used in the basic text." (Boris V. Loginov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1216, 2011)
