This note covers the following
topics: The aerodynamic forces, Practical applications, Fundamental flow
parameters, Flow regimes, Critical Mach numbers, Drag of an aircraft, Wing
geometry, Airfoil aerodynamic characteristics, Hydrostatics, Stevino’s law,
Fluid particle kinematics, Streamlines and strakelines, Conservation of mass,
Bernoulli’s theorem, Two-dimensional flow, Pressure and forces on the cylinder,
Rotating circular cylinder, Thin airfoil theory, Schrenk’s method, The
turbulence, Fluid particle kinematics, Supersonic, thin and cambered airfoil,
Normal shock waves, Transonic flow.
This Book
covers a small part of the numerous cases of stationary and non stationary
aerodynamics, wave generation and propagation, wind energy, flow control
techniques and, also, sports aerodynamics. It's not an undergraduate text but is
thought to be useful for those teachers and researchers which work in the
several branches of applied aerodynamics and applied fluid dynamics, from
experiments procedures to computational methods.
This note covers the following
topics: Historical Background, Parts of an Aircraft, Stability, Aerospace
Terminology, Forces on Aircraft, Lift and Drag, Airfoils, Pi Theorem, Energy
Equation, Substantial Derivative, Pathline and stream line, Uniform Flow, source
flow, Uniform Flow, Propulsion, Operational Envelopes, Standard Atmosphere,
Air-breathing Engines, Aircraft Performance, Rocket Engines, Review of Gas
Dynamics, H-K Diagram, Normal shock wave, Flow with heat addition, Flow with
friction.
