Low-Speed Aerodynamics
Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft flying at low Mach number, and ground and marine vehicles. This text offers a modern treatment of both the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational aerodynamics, and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. A unique feature is that the computational approach—from a single vortex element to a three-dimensional panel formulation—is interwoven throughout. This second edition...
