Aimed toward students in junior/senior level engineering courses, this text is an introduction to aerodynamics.
Recently updated, it contains more vector manipulations, the eulerian and langrangian descriptions of flow fluids,
a new section on supersonic wind tunnel, navier - stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates and more practical
illustrative examples and problems
