Acoustic Control of Turbulent Jets (Hardcover, 2004 ed.): A .S. Ginevsky, Y. V. Vlasov, R. K. Karavosov Acoustic Control of Turbulent Jets (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)
A .S. Ginevsky, Y. V. Vlasov, R. K. Karavosov
R4,607 Discovery Miles 46 070 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Results of experimental research on aerodynamic and acoustic control of subsonic turbulent jets by acoustic excitation are presented. It was demonstrated that these control methods, originated by authors, not only can intensify mixing (by acoustic irradiation at low frequency), but also notably ease it (at high-frequency irradiation). This research monograph presents the updated results of the authors supplemented by other investigations conducted in USA, Germany and Great Britain. The methods for the numerical simulation of subsonic turbulent jets under acoustic excitation are described in detail, and examples are reviewed of practical applications, including reduction of turbojet engine noise and acoustic control of self-sustained oscillations in wind tunnels.

A History of Aerodynamics - And Its Impact on Flying Machines (Paperback, New Ed): John D. Anderson Jr A History of Aerodynamics - And Its Impact on Flying Machines (Paperback, New Ed)
John D. Anderson Jr
R2,205 Discovery Miles 22 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Aerodynamic principles that make flight possible were little known or barely understood as recently as one hundred years ago. Although their roots can be found in the fluid dynamics of ancient Greek science, it was not until the scientific breakthroughs at the beginning of the twentieth century that it became possible to design successful flying machines. This book presents the history of aerodynamics, intertwined with a review of the aircraft that were developed as technology advanced. Beginning with the scientific theories and experiments of Aristotle and Archimedes, the book continues through the applied and theoretical aerodynamics in the early 1900s, and concludes with modern hypersonic and computational aerodynamics. Students, fluid dynamicists, aeronautical engineers, and historians of technology will find this book a thoroughly engrossing account of the role of aerodynamics in the development of science and technology in this century.

Wing Theory (Paperback): Robert Thomas Jones Wing Theory (Paperback)
Robert Thomas Jones
R1,056 Discovery Miles 10 560 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Originator of many of the theories used in modern wing design, Robert T. Jones surveys the aerodynamics of wings from the early theories of lift to modern theoretical developments. This work covers the behavior of wings at both low and high speeds, including the range from very low Reynolds numbers to the determination of minimum drag at supersonic speed. Emphasizing analytical techniques, Wing Theory provides invaluable physical principles and insights for advanced students, professors, and aeronautical engineers, as well as for scientists involved in computational approaches to the subject. This book is based on over forty years of theoretical and practical work performed by the author and other leading researchers in the field of aerodynamics.

Originally published in 1990.

The text offers numerous problems, examples, and check tests, allowing readers to gain and cement their knowledge through hands-on practice. Using a unique blend of fundamentals, the book provides students with a new approach to high lift airfoils including examples designed to complement the theory. It covers the most vital information on incompressible and compressible flow over two-dimensional and three-dimensional wings. A companion website that includes an interactive aero-calculator and additional student resources makes this a suitable text for online, hybrid, and distance learning. Readers will also find: A concise introduction to units and notation with discussion of the proper usage of dimensionless coefficients in aerodynamics, featuring descriptions of airflow as an incompressible and compressible low-viscosity medium past streamlined wings Comprehensive re-evaluation of the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, including the differential control volume approach and formulation of lift, drag, and pitching moments for thin, attached boundary layers over slender wings at high angles of attack Practical applications of mass, momentum, and energy relations, derived from Euler's equation, Bernoulli's equation, and the Kutta-Joukowski theorem Selected treatment of transonic and hypersonic aerodynamic aspects, including supercritical airfoils, the non-linear small perturbation potential equation, Newtonian theory, and hypersonic lift and drag Well-suited for students enrolled in an introductory aerodynamics course as part of an engineering program, Elements of Aerodynamics will also earn a place in the libraries of physics students and those interested in basic fluid mechanics.

Aerodynamic Design of Transport Aircraft (Paperback): E. Obert Aerodynamic Design of Transport Aircraft (Paperback)
E. Obert
R3,377 Discovery Miles 33 770 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The origin of "Aerodynamic Design of Transport Aircraft" stems from the time when the author was appointed part-time professor in the Aerospace Faculty of Delft University of Technology. At that time, his main activities were those of leading the departments of Aerodynamics, Performance and Preliminary Design at Fokker Aircraft Company. The groundwork for this book started in 1987 as a series of lecture notes consisting mainly of pictorial material with a minimum of English explanatory text. After the demise of Fokker in 1996 one feared that interest in aeronautical engineering would strongly diminish. As a result of this, the course was discontinued and the relationship between the author and the faculty came to an end. Two years later the situation was re-appraised, and the interest in aeronautical engineering remained, so the course was reinstated with a former Fokker colleague Ronald Slingerland as lecturer. The lecture notes from these courses form the foundation of this publication.
