This volume is a result of several semesters of the author's teaching of an introductory course in aerodynamics to apprentices and technicians at the NASA Langley Research Center. The problem faced was to provide more than a layman's treatment of the subject but not the detail as taught in m...
Of course, Eqn (8.34) might have been written down by inspection because, as mentioned previously, only pressure forces are considered and they pass through the origin of the circular nose making that point the center of pressure. The normal and axial forces may be considered to act there ...

Recently, there has been a considerable amount of work using both experimental and numerical techniques to locate where the flow separates from the body of the rider over the course of the pedal stroke and how the three-dimensional aspects of the flow relate to the aerodynamic forces acting on...
in hovering flight. Its wing length is about 1.4 mm. The reasons we chose the vegetable leafminers were that it is one of the smallest species in the order ofDiptera1and that they perform well hovering in the laboratory conditions. We first measured the time course of the wing motion, ...
They of course also suitable for use with finite element discretization as a spe- cial case of IGA discretization. Element distortion during the mesh deformation is reduced by stiffening the element in multiple directions with the fibers placed in those direc- tions. The ZSS is optimized by ...
In the course of computational experiments in this paper, a similar approach to sensors is used, where air pressure is read by the software for each of the individual surface mesh cells (Figure 19), and then integrated to calculate the aerodynamic loads. Figure 19. An example of spanwise ...
