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: Kinematics of a Fluid Element, Stress-Strain Relationship for a
Newtonian Fluid, Brequet Range Equation, Coordination Transformations for Strain
and Stress Rates, Equations of Aircraft Motion, Viscous Flow, Integral Boundary
Layer Equations, Correlation Methods for Integral Boundary Layers, Falkner-Skan
Flows, Three-Dimensional Wall Effects, Subsonic Small Disturbance Potential
Flow, Waves in 1D Compressible Flow, Normal Shock Waves, Linearized Compressible
Potential Flow Governing Equation, Oblique Shock Waves, Prandtl-Meyer Expansion
Waves, Computational Methods for the Euler Equations, Solution Convergence.
