Overview

Moore brings 30 years of experience in weapons development to help bridge the gap between the academic textbook and practical application.

The book reviews all approaches to calculate aerodynamics, allowing engineers to see the pros and cons of each approach, setting the stage for a semiempirical approach. It contains many approximate aerodynamic methods, bringing together in a single text both linearized and nonlinear aerodynamic methods.

Practicing engineers will value the book's emphasis on understanding the physics involved, understanding the assumptions made to get to the approximate approaches, and showing final equations used in the solution process.

Reviews all approaches to calculating aerodynamics, including linearized and nonlinear approximate aerodynamic methods, allowing engineers to see the pros and cons of each approach and setting the stage for a semiempirical approach. Emphasis is on understanding the physics involved, assumptions made to get to the approximate approaches, and final equations used in the solution process. Coverage includes Navier-Stokes and Euler equations, perturbation methods, aerodynamics of noncircular body configurations, and applications of aerodynamics. Moore has some 30 years of weapons systems experience at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
