Aerodynamics for Engineering Students is the leading course text on aerodynamics for engineering students. The book has been revised to include the latest developments in flow control and boundary layers and their impact on modern wing design, as well as recent advances in the understanding of fundamental fluid dynamics. The computational methods have been expanded and updated to reflect modern approaches to aerodynamic design and research in the aeronautics industry and elsewhere, and the structure of the text has been developed to reflect current curriculum requirements.

Aerodynamics for Engineering Students book is designed to be accessible and practical. The theory is well defined with logical notation, symbols and units in each chapter, and the text is illustrated with fully worked examples and exercises. The book recognizes the extensive use of computational techniques in contemporary aeronautical design. However, it can be used as a stand-alone text that reflects the requirements of many courses in the field for a thorough foundation on the underlying principles of the subject. This book is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in aeronautical engineering.
