"Optimal aircraft design is impossible without a parametric representation of the geometry of the airframe. We need a mathematical model equipped with a set of controls, or design variables, which generates different candidate airframe shapes in response to changes in the values…
From basics to advanced extensions of computational aerodynamics, this book is a comprehensive guide. Including relevant mathematical and numerical methods, outlining stability theory and shock capturing schemes, as well as exploring viscous flow simulations and time integration…
"During the last five decades, computational aerodynamics has emerged as an engineering field that creates new horizons for aerodynamic simulation via sophisticated numerical algorithms. This book is a unique reference on the foundations, methods, and applications of this rapidl…
The interaction of the environment with a moving body is called "localized" if it has been found or assumed that the force or/and thermal influence of the environment on each body surface point is independent and can be determined by the local geometrical and kinematical charact…
