Aerodynamics Books

This book is concerned with the methods of solving the nonlinear Boltz­ mann equation and of investigating its possibilities for describing some aerodynamic and physical problems. This monograph is a sequel to the book...

This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format...

Aucune découverte n'a excité, autant que celle des aérostats, la surprise, l'admiration, l'émotion universelles. Il n'y eut en Europe, qu'un cri d'enthousiasme pour les navigateurs intrépides qui, les premiers, osèrent s'élancer dans le vaste champ des...

Depuis la fin du dernier siècle, l'attention publique s'est portée plus d'une fois sur les aérostats et sur les applications qu'on pourrait faire de la locomotion aérienne à certaines recherches scientifiques. Presque toujours à ces périodes...

The traditional computer science courses for engineering focus on the fundamentals of programming without demonstrating the wide array of practical applications for fields outside of computer science. Thus, the mindset of "Java/Python is for computer...

""A Criticism of Darwinism: The Struggle for Life and Abiogenesis or Creation"" is a book written by Otto Effertz in 1894. The book critiques Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, arguing that it is incomplete and does not fully...

Back-action of aerodynamics onto structures such as wings cause vibrations and may resonantly couple to them, thus causing instabilities (flutter) and endangering the whole structure. By careful choices of geometry, materials and damping mechanisms,...

From a mechanical perspective, an animal's shape and the topological connection of its organs are important factors in locomotion. This book describes the physical relationships between form, habitat, way of life, and movement...

In this second edition a new chapter has been added covering the buffeting theory in a finite element format. The motivation for this has been that a finite element format is becoming more and more dominant in all areas of...

Investigation of vortex wakes behind various aircraft, especially behind wide bodied and heavy cargo ones, is of both scientific and practical in terest. The vortex wakes shed from the wing's trailing edge are long lived and...

Flight mechanics is the application of Newton's laws to the study of vehicle trajectories (performance), stability, and aerodynamic control. This volume details the derivation of analytical solutions of airplane flight...

Dynamic Soaring Dissected Albatrosses fly over the oceans in swooping, curving flight gliding thousands of kilometres in search of food, mostly without flapping their wings. This is known as dynamic soaring, which is the use of the energy of the...

This textbook combines methodologies of vehicle dynamics with modeling, analysis, and optimization of suspension systems, power train, and aerodynamics. Chapter topics provide the reader with a broad range of design concepts. The book begins with an...

Take a trip on an airliner while learning about the aircraft and the systems that make them fly. Here we provide an insight into the inner workings of the aircraft we fly on. Useful information for passengers, Aircrew, and aviation maintenance students...

"Propulsion Systems for Space Applications" offers a comprehensive exploration of the principles, technologies, and practicality behind propulsion for rocket launching and spacecraft travel. From the fundamentals of rocket science to the intricacies of...

The researchers in Aerodynamics know that there is not a unitary method of investigation in this field. The first mathematical model of the air­ plane wing, the model meaning the integral equation governing the phe­ nomenon,...

The kinetic theory of gases as we know it dates to the paper of Boltzmann in 1872. The justification and context of this equation has been clarified over the past half century to the extent that it comprises one of the most...

Wind Tunnel Tales, Memoirs of a Wind Tunnel Engineer by William "Bill" E. Anderson provides an entertaining glimpse into the STEM world of aircraft testing and the professionals who operate those tests in wind tunnels. Mr. Anderson's electrical engineer...

Despite the ongoing preventive actions, supervision failure remains the most serious contributor to aircraft accidents in the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). The Organizational Accidents Theory, introduced by James Reason (1997), focuses on the preexisting...

Pilots must be provided explanations, predictions, factors of safety and control for high density altitude environments. Anytime a higher than standard temperature exists at a departure airport, improper planning and/or a lack of knowledge may lead to a...

This is a supplement to a revised account of the experiments made by Francis Bashforth using the Bashforth chronograph to determine air resistance on projectiles. This revised account provides additional insights and data that was not included in the...

This book contains chapters written by some eminent scientists and researchers on Computational Methods in Hypersonic Aerodynamics and forms a natural sequel to the earlier publications on Computational Methods in Potential...

The many uses of SolidWorks Software is enormous and covering all its capabilities in any single book, is quite impossible however most topics to get the Student/Design Engineer to understand the easy and simple approach to design, has been well...

A good understanding of turbulent compressible flows is essential to the design and operation of high-speed vehicles. Such flows occur, for example, in the external flow over the surfaces of supersonic aircraft, and in the...

Gustave Eiffel, célèbre pour la tour du même nom, a mené de nombreuses recherches sur la résistance de l'air. Ce livre explique ses expériences et ses conclusions de manière parfaitement claire et précise.This work has been selected by scholars as being...

In this landmark work of aerodynamics, Richard de Villamil lays out the fundamental principles of air resistance and the factors that affect it. From the shape of an object to its velocity, de Villamil explores a range of variables that are essential to...

This book details the resistance of air and how various projectiles handle speeds under one thousand feet per second. It also includes two new, groundbreaking methods for measuring projectile velocities. A must-read for scientists and military personnel...

Experiments in Aerodynamics is a book written by Samuel Pierpont Langley. It provides a theoretical and practical analysis of the science of aerodynamics and explores the principles of lift, drag, and air resistance.This work has been selected by...
