Beschreibung:
"A complete textbook for undergraduate aerodynamics courses, featuring contemporary applications, computational exercises, and expanded coverage of compressible and incompressible flow. Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Seventh Edition, is one of the world's leading course texts on aerodynamics. It provides concise explanations of basic concepts, combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This udated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning, and includes new or expanded coverage in several important areas, such as hydrostatics, longitudinal stability, and computational fluid dynamics." -- Back cover
