Author Description

The field of aeronautics constantly impresses us with its high-flying technology. To this end, the artisans in the field, most notably engineers, must be familiar with the basics of aerodynamics which are vital to the success of these vast enterprises. This book presents the theory from its most basic principles to the notion of experimental aerodynamics while emphasizing the in-depth study of aerodynamic profiles in subsonic regime and the finite-wing span in two and three dimensions. In addition, to the benefit of all concerned, this work is a complement to the theoretical part as it offers a multitude of practical applications related to the physical phenomena characteristic to aerodynamics. Subsonic Aerodynamics is both theoretical and practical. It is intended for students and engineers specializing in the field of aeronautics and aerodynamic phenomena. This book contains a wealth of practical examples and should be of particular interest to those students and mechanical engineers hungry for knowledge regarding new advancements in this area of application.
