"This book offers a general overview of the physics, concepts, theories, and models
underlying the discipline of aerodynamics. A particular focus is the technique of
velocity field representation and modeling via source and vorticity fields and via
their sheet, filament, or point-singularity idealizations. These models provide an
intuitive feel for aerodynamic flow-field behavior and are the basis of aerodynamic
force analysis, drag decomposition, flow interference estimation, and other important
applications. The models are applied to both low speed and high speed flows. Viscous
flows are also covered, with a focus on understanding boundary layer behavior and
its influence on aerodynamic flows. The book covers some topics in depth while offering
introductions and summaries of others. Computational methods are indispensable for
the practicing aerodynamicist, and the book covers several computational methods in
detail, with a focus on vortex lattice and panel methods. The goal is to improve understanding
of the physical models that underlie such methods. The book also covers the aerodynamic
models that describe the forces and moments on maneuvering aircraft, and provides
a good introduction to the concepts and methods used in flight dynamics. It also offers
an introduction to unsteady flows and to the subject of wind tunnel measurements.
The book is based on the MIT graduate-level course "Flight Vehicle Aerodynamics" and
has been developed for use not only in conventional classrooms but also in a massive
open online course (or MOOC) offered on the pioneering MOOC platform edX. It will
also serve as a valuable reference for professionals in the field. The text assumes
that the reader is well versed in basic physics and vector calculus, has had some
exposure to basic fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, and is somewhat familiar with aerodynamics
and aeronautics terminology."--back cover
