Aerodynamics for Engineering Students

By E.L. Houghton and E. L Hoghton

Book Overview

Already established as the leading course text on aerodynamics, Aerodynamics for Engineering Students has been revised to include the latest developments in flow control and boundary layers, and their influence on modern wing design, as well as introducing recent advances in the understanding of fundamental fluid dynamics. Computational methods have been expanded and updated to reflect the modern approaches to aerodynamic design and research in the aeronautical industry and elsewhere, and the structure of the text has been developed to reflect current course requirements. The book is designed to be accessible and practical. Theory is developed logically within each chapter with notation, symbols and units well defined throughout, and the text is fully illustrated with worked examples and exercises. The classic text, expanded and updated. Includes latest developments in flow control, boundary layers and fluid dynamics. Fully illustrated throughout with illustrations, worked examples and exercises.

Customer Reviews

a selfcontained course

This is a classical text for student, but it gives many hints about modern commercial design methods. The maths involved is very advanced and well set out. Worked examples are very useful since many are from post examination papers (always a much needed reference). Numerous line illustrations are provided, being very accurate, clear and detailed. They are the most valuable feature of this volume.
