Useful References
The following is a list of useful references (none of which are required)
for the material covered in AA200b. The titles in
boldface are recommended, although not required. I will be handing out
all of the necessary reading assignments in class, but you may want to complement this material with the contents of some of these books.
-
Introduction to Theoretical and Computational
Aerodynamics. Jack Moran. John Wiley and Sons, 1984. -
Although out of print, this book is clearly written, contains clear
explanations of a variety of topics, and provides descriptions of the
computational implementations of various panel methods and integral
boundary layer formulations.
-
Foundations of Aerodynamics - Bases of Aerodynamic Design, 5th
Ed. A. Kuethe and C. Chow, John Wiley and Sons, 1998. -
Another good book in applied aerodynamics with broad, in-depth
coverage (broader than we will pursue in AA200b) of a variety of
topics. Good description of finite wing theory and compressible
boundary layers.
-
Fundamentals of Aerodynamics. J. D. Anderson, McGraw Hill, 1991. - Good, although not as in-depth as the previous ones,
description of multiple topics in applied aerodynamics. Excellent
illustrations and sample problems. Best as a first book in Applied
Aero.
-
Boundary Layer Theory, 7th Ed. H. Schlichting, McGraw Hill, 1987. - The reference for boundary layer theory.
Comprehensive but not organized in the clearest of ways. A classic.
-
Incompressible Aerodynamics. B. Thwaites, Dover, 1960. - Comprehensive, although a bit outdated reference. Pretty inexpensive.
-
Viscous Fluid Flow. F. M. White, McGraw Hill, 1974. - Comprehensive. A bit more modern than Thwaites, but more of a reference for viscous fluid flow than a textbook.
