Publisher's Synopsis
The use of numerical modelling and testing is a vital engineering tool in all aspects of the aerospace industry: aerodynamics, heat transfer, and stress and vibration levels. This volume provides an overview of the current state of the art of this research and is designed as a reference for people whose work involves computational fluid dynamics, giving current results of research and an indication of the new directions it might take.;Particular topics covered include integral methods, boundary layer and viscous flows, turbulence modelling, vortex dynamics, Navier-Stokes for external aerodynamics, mesh generation and adaptive refinement, and hypersonic flow. Throughout, the emphasis is on real problems arising in aerodynamics and the numerical methods used in their solution.
