Description
Already established as the leading course text on aerodynamics, Aerodynamics for Engineering Students has been revised to include the
latest developments in flow control and boundary layers, and their influence on modern wing design, as well as introducing recent advances
in the understanding of fundamental fluid dynamics. Computational methods have been expanded and updated to reflect the modern approaches
to aerodynamic design and research in the aeronautical industry and elsewhere, and the structure of the text has been developed to reflect
current course requirements.
The book is designed to be accessible and practical. Theory is developed logically within each chapter
with notation, symbols and units well defined throughout, and the text is fully illustrated with worked examples and exercises.
Audience
Undergraduate and postgraduate students in aeronautical engineering. Growing market for Aeronautical Engineers in both civilian and defense-related
areas. Current Aerospace Engineer employment numbers range between 50,000 and 55,000.
