Unsteady Aerodynamics - Grigorios (University of Li¿ge Dimitriadis - Bog

Unsteady Aerodynamics: Inviscid and Viscous, Incompressible and Compressible comprehensively and systematically covers unsteady aerodynamics, including applications, MATLAB examples and exercises. It begins with an introduction which details the historical context and outlines the areas of application. The development of unsteady aerodynamics is presented, from the 1920?s up to the present day. This book expertly explains the sources of unsteadiness in flow which are supported by sample problems, inspired by aeroelasticity, rotor blades and flapping flight.

The author ? a noted expert on the topic ? provides detailed explanations on the physics of unsteady flow, physics and modelling of viscous unsteady incompressible flows and 2D compressible unsteady flows, both inviscid and viscous. The author also discusses compressible unsteady flows, extended to three dimensions; subsonic flow, supersonic flow modelling and the physics of transonic flow. This introductory book covers all you need to know on the topic of unsteady aerodynamics and is accompanied by a website hosting MATLAB codes and solutions.
