Book Description:

Low-speed aerodynamics is important in the design and operation of aircraft flying at low Mach number, and ground and marine vehicles. This book offers a modern treatment of the subject, both the theory of inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational aerodynamics and the computational techniques now available to solve complex problems. A unique feature of the text is that the computational approach is interwoven throughout. This second edition includes a new chapter on the laminar boundary layer and the latest versions of computational techniques. A useful senior/graduate level text and a reference for practicing engineers.
