Aerodynamics for Engineers by Bertin, John J. ; Cummings, Russell M - 2009

Upper Sadle River: Pearson, 2009. 5th ed. Hardcover. As new ; fine.. Quarto in glossy blue illus baords; 752 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm; bibliographical references and index. "Revised to reflect the technological advances and modern application in aerodynamics, this edition merges fundamental fluid mechanics, experimental techniques, and computational fluid dynamics techniques to build a solid foundation for students in aerodynamic applications from low-speed flight through hypersonic flight. Contents: Why study aerodynamics? -- Fundamentals of fluid mechanics -- Dynamics of an incompressible, inviscid flow field -- Viscous boundary layers -- Characteristic parameters for airfoil and wing aerodynamics -- Incompressible flows around airfoils of infinite span -- Incompressible flow about wings of finite span -- Dynamics of a compressible flow field -- Compressible, subsonic flows and transonic flows -- Two-dimensional, supersonic flows around thin airfoils -- Supersonic flows over wings and airplane configurations -- Hypersonic flows -- Aerodynamic design considerations -- Tools for defining the aerodynamic environment.
