This excellent, innovative reference offers a wealth of useful information and a solid background in the fundamentals of aerodynamics. Fluid mechanics, constant density inviscid flow, singular perturbation problems, viscosity, thin-wing and slender body theories, drag minimalization, and other essentials...
In this case, the nonlinear lifting surface model must allow the separation of the trailing vortices from the surface or, at least, from the side and trailing edges (Fig. 6.1b). The induced velocities due to these vortices affect the pressure distribution on the wing, so as to induce ...
Aerodynamics of Wings and Bodies at Transonic Speeds When the air temperature reaches 600K or higher, vibration is excited. The specific heat is not a constant but a function of temperature. Under this condition, the transition position of hypersonic sharp wedge boundary layer is predicted... JR...
This course extends fluid mechanic concepts from Unified Engineering to the aerodynamic performance of wings and bodies in sub/supersonic regimes. 16.100 generally has four components: subsonic potential flows, including source/vortex panel methods; viscous flows, including laminar and turbulent boundary ...

In this chapter, the aerodynamics of bodies of revolution, low-aspect-ratio wings, and wing–body combinations is discussed. Typical projectiles and missiles reach subsonic, transonic, or supersonic flight speeds, and the angle of attack may vary over a substantial range. Therefore, the major phe...
usually generate a lot of lift, but they also produce a lot of drag. In designing airplane wings, engineers need to take into account such factors as the speed and altitude at which the plane will fly, so that they can find a wing shape that balances lift and drag as well as possible...

It is the plane along which the insect flaps its wings. In reality, the flapping wing exhibits complex motion like the figure-of-eight. However, it is a standard assumption to confine its movement along a plane, as shown in figure 1. ...
