This book presents the solutions to the problems in Convective Heat Transfer. It also contains computer programs to solve homework problems on the CD accompanying the book. Included on the CD are computer programs based on differential and integral methods. Those on differential methods are for two-dimensional flows and allow the user to solve compressible external laminar and turbulent boundary layers, forced and free convection problems between two vertical parallel plates, wall jet problems, turbulent free jet problems, mixing layer between two uniform streams at different temperatures and internal laminar and turbulent flow problems with fully developed velocity profiles. Those programs based on integral methods are for two-dimensional flows and include Thwaites' method for momentum transfer, Smith-Spalding's method for heat transfer, Michel's method for predicting transition, Head's method for momentum transfer and Ambrok's method for heat transfer.

The standard textbooks on aerodynamics usually omit any discussion of un steady aerodynamics or, at most, consider it only in a single chapter, based on two justifications. The first is that unsteady aerodynamics should be regarded as a specialized subject required "only" in connection with understanding and an alyzing aeroelastic phenomena such as flutter and gust response, and therefore should be dealt with in related specialist books. The second reason appears to be reluctance to discuss aerodynamics with the inclusion of the time-dependent terms in the conservation equations and the boundary conditions for fear that added complications may discourage the reader. We take the opposite view in this book and argue that a full understanding of the physics of lift generation is possible only by considering the unsteady aerody namics of the starting vortex generation process. Furthermore, certain "steady" flows are inherently unsteady in the presence of flow separation, as for example the unsteady flow caused by the Karman vortex shedding downstream of a cylin der and "static" airfoil stall which is an inherently unsteady flow phenomenon. Therefore, it stands to reason that a unified treatment of aerodynamics that yields steady-state aerodynamics as a special case offers advantages. This rea soning is strengthened by the developments in computational fluid dynamics over the past forty years, which showed that accurate steady-state solutions can be obtained efficiently by solving the unsteady flow equations.

This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the Fourth Symposium on Numerical and Physical Aspects of Aerodynamic Flows, which was held at the California State University, Long Beach, from 16-19 January 1989. It includes the Stewartson Memorial Lecture of Professor J. H. Whitelaw, and is divided into three parts. The first is a collection of papers that describe the status of current technology in two- and three-dimensional steady flows, the second deals with two- and three-dimensional unsteady flows, and the papers in the third address stability and transition. Each of the three parts begins with an overview of current research, as described in the following chapters. The individual papers are edited versions of the selected papers originally submitted to the symposium. Four years have passed since the Third Symposium, and certain trends be come clear if one compares the papers contained in this volume with those of previous volumes. There are more three- than two-dimensional problems consid ered in Part 1 and the latter address more difficult problems than in the past, for example, the extension to higher angles of attack, to transonic flow, to leading edge ice accretion, and to thick hydrofoils. The large number of papers in the first part reflects the emphasis of current research and development and the needs of industry."

This book is a modern presentation exploring the equations that govern heat and momentum transfer in laminar and turbulent boundary-layer flows with small temperature differences and buoyant flows. Numerical solutions are used to illustrate physical behavior and to demonstrate calculation methods. A large number of homework problems and several computer programs based on differential and integral methods are included. An accompanying CD-ROM contains computer programs which are of use to engineers and practitioners.

This book describes an engineering approach based on interactive boundary-layer and stability-transition theories, both developed by the author, for calculating aerodynamic flows. The contents include two-dimensional and three-dimensional steady and unsteady flows with and without compressibility effects. The former theory is based on the numerical solutions of the reduced Navier-Stokes equations in which Euler and boundary-layer equations are coupled with an interaction law. The latter theory is based on the linear stability theory and employs the so-called en method. The book details applications of this approach to airfoils, wings and high lift systems. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students and practicing engineers interested in aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and modern numerical methods and computer programs for solving linear and nonlinear ordinary and parabolic partial differential equations.

From the reviews: "The book has a broad and general coverage of both the mathematics and the numerical methods well suited for graduate students." Applied Mechanics Reviews #1 "This is a very well written book. The topics are developed with separate headings making the matter easily understandable. Computer programs are also included for many problems together with a separate chapter dealing with the application of computer programs to heat transfer problems. This enhances the utility of the book." Zentralblatt fur Mathematik #1

"Analysis of Turbulent Flows" is written by one of the most prolific authors in the field of CFD. Professor of Aerodynamics at SUPAERO and Director of DMAE at ONERA, Professor Tuncer Cebeci calls on both his academic and industrial experience when presenting this work. Each chapter has been specifically constructed to provide a comprehensive overview of turbulent flow and its measurement. "Analysis of Turbulent Flows" serves as an advanced textbook for PhD candidates working in the field of CFD and is essential reading for researchers, practitioners in industry and MSc and MEng students.

The field of CFD is strongly represented by the following corporate organizations: Boeing, Airbus, Thales, United Technologies and General Electric. Government bodies and academic institutions also have a strong interest in this exciting field.
