Basics of Aerothermodynamics

Mehr zum Buch

Focused on the fundamentals of aerothermodynamics, this revised edition delves into winged re-entry and hypersonic vehicles, emphasizing the transport of momentum, energy, and mass, as well as real-gas effects. While classical topics remain largely unchanged, accessibility to practical topics has improved, and auxiliary chapters are now in an appendix. Highlighting recent advancements in airbreathing hypersonic flight, the book underscores the significance of viscous effects and thermal surface interactions, supported by new experimental and numerical findings.
