Flight Vehicle Aerodynamics
Author: Mark Drela
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262526441
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
An overview of the physics, concepts, theories, and models underlying the discipline of aerodynamics. This book offers a general overview of the physics, concepts, theories, and models underlying the discipline of aerodynamics. A particular focus is the technique of velocity field representation and modeling via source and vorticity fields and via their sheet, filament, or point-singularity idealizations. These models provide an intuitive feel for aerodynamic flow-field behavior and are the basis of aerodynamic force analysis, drag decomposition, flow interference estimation, and other important applications. The models are applied to both low speed and high speed flows. Viscous flows are also covered, with a focus on understanding boundary layer behavior and its influence on aerodynamic flows. The book covers some topics in depth while offering introductions and summaries of others. Computational methods are indispensable for the practicing aerodynamicist, and the book covers several computational methods in detail, with a focus on vortex lattice and panel methods. The goal is to improve understanding of the physical models that underlie such methods. The book also covers the aerodynamic models that describe the forces and moments on maneuvering aircraft, and provides a good introduction to the concepts and methods used in flight dynamics. It also offers an introduction to unsteady flows and to the subject of wind tunnel measurements. The book is based on the MIT graduate-level course “Flight Vehicle Aerodynamics” and has been developed for use not only in conventional classrooms but also in a massive open online course (or MOOC) offered on the pioneering MOOC platform edX. It will also serve as a valuable reference for professionals in the field. The text assumes that the reader is well versed in basic physics and vector calculus, has had some exposure to basic fluid dynamics and aerodynamics, and is somewhat familiar with aerodynamics and aeronautics terminology.

Theoretical Prediction of the Effects of Vortex Flows on the Loading, Forces, and Moments of Slender Aircraft
Author: J. Richard Spahr
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
A theoretical method based on slender-body theory is presented for the stepwise calculation of vortex paths in the presence of wing-body combinations and the determination of the load distributions, forces, and moments on the combinations due to the vortices. Comparisons of calculated and experimental results indicate that the vortex paths and the forces induced by the vortices can be closely predicted by the calculative method only for slender configurations. The total forces and moments, however, in many cases can be predicted adequately for nonslender as well as slender triangular-wing configurations.

Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software
Author: Arthur Rizzi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009038257
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 467
Book Description
This modern text presents aerodynamic design of aircraft with realistic applications, using CFD software and guidance on its use. Tutorials, exercises, and mini-projects provided involve design of real aircraft, ranging from straight to swept to slender wings, from low speed to supersonic. Supported by online resources and supplements, this toolkit covers topics such as shape optimization to minimize drag and collaborative designing. Prepares seniors and first-year graduate students for design and analysis tasks in aerospace companies. In addition, it is a valuable resource for practicing engineers, aircraft designers, and entrepreneurial consultants.
