ingatlowMachnumberandofgroundandmarinevehicles.Thisbookoffersa
moderntreatmentofthesubject,boththetheoryofinviscid,incompressible,and
irrotationalaerodynamicsandthecomputationaltechniquesnowavailabletosolve

Auniquefeatureofthetextisthatthecomputationalapproach(fromasingle

Thus,thereadercanlearnaboutclassicalmethodsofthepast,whilealsolearning
how to use numerical methods to solve real-world aerodynamic problems. This
secondedition,updatesthefirsteditionwithanewchapteronthelaminarboundary
layer, the latest versions of computational techniques, and additional coverage
of interaction problems. It includes a systematic treatment of two-dimensional
panelmethodsandadetailedpresentationofcomputationaltechniquesforthree-
dimensional and unsteady flows. With extensive illustrations and examples, this
bookwillbeusefulforseniorandbeginninggraduate-levelcourses,aswellasa
helpfulreferencetoolforpracticingengineers.
