About this book

In this textbook, the author introduces the concept of unsteady aerodynamics and its underlying principles. He provides the readers with a full review of fundamental physics of the free and the forced unsteadines, the terminology and basic equations of aerodynamics ranging from incompressible flow to hypersonics. The book also covers the modern topics concerning the developments made during the last years, especially in relation to wing flappings for propulsion. The book is written for graduate and senior year undergraduate students in Aerodynamics, and it serves as a reference for experienced researchers. Each chapter includes ample examples, questions, problems and relevant references.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This monograph, giving the progress in unsteady aerodynamics during about a century, is written as a graduate textbook. An additional aim is to provide the practicing engineers with the knowledge of the most recent developments in unsteady aerodynamics. … the author presents a three-dimensional analysis of swept wings with extra lift created by leading edge separation. Ten appendices supplement the formulae used in the basic text.” (Boris V. Loginov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1216, 2011)
