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.
Volume VI of the High Speed Aerodynamics and Jet Propulsion series.
This volume includes: physical and mathematical aspects of high
speed flows; small perturbation theory; supersonic and transonic
small perturbation theory; higher order approximations; nonlinear
subsonic and transonic flow theory; nonlinear supersonic
steady-flow theory; characteristic methods; flows with shock waves.

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.
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.

ELEMENTS OF AERODYNAMICS An accessible and hands-on textbook filled
with chapter objectives, examples, practice problems, sample tests,
and an online aero-calculator In Elements of Aerodynamics,
Professor Oscar Biblarz delivers a concise and
fundamentals-oriented approach to aerodynamics suitable for both
undergraduate and graduate-level students. 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.
Concise compilation of subsonic aerodynamic characteristics of NACA wing sections, plus description of theory. 350pp. of tables.
The many uses of SolidWorks Software is enormous and covering all
its capabilities in any single book, is quite impossible however
most topics to get the Student/Design Engineer to understand the
easy and simple approach to design, has been well explained. The
Tutorials started by introducing the Student/Design Engineer to New
tools and their location and uses. Examples of processes were
explained step by step with loads of practical references and
different approach to design covered.Topics that included, but not
limited to, Sheet metal design, Weldments, Equations and
Configuration, although new to most CAD students were explained in
simple terms as basic as possible. By so doing everyone including
the beginner would be able to have a feel for using the valuable
pages in achieving various goals. After going through all the pages
in this priceless book, the Novice will get to know new terminology
of the Software and its uses, the Beginner will be comfortable with
the migration from Basic Cad software to 3D Modeling; the
Intermediate Student/Designer will cover Parametric design and
equations; the Experienced user will be introduced to Customization
of the Software; for an example Forming Tools design and the
Advanced designer is challenged to the Final Project to explore all
the limits and test parts with Linear Analysis utilizing Simulation
Express and degree of freedom in special visualization. The
Capability is Endless, Welcome Aboard
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.
