This book covers classical and modern aerodynamics, theories and related numerical methods, for senior and first-year graduate engineering students, including: -The classical potential (incompressible) flow theories for low speed aerodynamics of thin airfoils and high and low aspect ratio wings. - The linearized theories for compressible subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics. - The nonlinear transonic small disturbance potential flow theory, including supercritical wing sections, the extended transonic area rule with lift effect, transonic lifting line and swept or oblique wings to minimize wave drag. Unsteady flow is also briefly discussed. Numerical simulations based on relaxation mixed-finite difference methods are presented and explained. - Boundary layer theory for all Mach number regimes and viscous/inviscid interaction procedures used in practical aerodynamics calculations. There are also four chapters covering special topics, including wind turbines and propellers, airplane design, flow analogies and hypersonic (rotational) flows. A unique feature of the book is its ten self-tests and their solutions as well as an appendix on special techniques of functions of complex variables, method of characteristics, and conservation laws and shock waves. The book is the culmination of two courses taught every year by the two authors for the last two decades to seniors and first-year graduate students of aerospace engineering at UC Davis.

This book covers a wide area of topics, from fundamental theories to industrial applications. It serves as a useful reference for everyone interested in computational modeling of partial differential equations pertinent primarily to aeronautical applications. The reader will find three survey articles on the present state of the art in numerical simulation of the transition to turbulence, in design optimization of aircraft configurations, and in turbulence modeling. These are followed by carefully selected and refereed articles on algorithms and their applications, on design methods, on grid adaption techniques, on direct numerical simulations, and on parallel computing, and much more.
